I thought it would be an interesting change of pace putting Pianoteq in this perspective ^^

Hi everybody! This is my first post in the forum, i discovered pianoteq last summer, downloaded for my iPhone and learnt to use it and to record. Now i use it to publish my piano compositions e my piano covers on Spotify etc ....
I registered this version of "'O sole mio" exclusively for this contest, with Pianoteq 8 for iOS, Steinway D. Hope you appreciate ;-)
Ciao! Mario Santani from Italy

Here is a piece I made with Pianoteq 8's Bluethner model.

I chose a full moon so that moonset can be near dawn.

Hi there!
I am Vollofi and this is my entry. Original piece for the competition:

Hi all,

This is a score to an animated movie I made in logic with pianoteq guitars, piano and organteq "is this a synth?" preset and Logic pro virtual instruments.

Hope you like it !

Cheers,

I am happy to take part in this competition and share my composition ‘For Simone’, a piece I wrote in honour of my grandmother. The warm and expressive character of Pianoteq inspired me greatly, especially the versatile sounds of the Steinway D. This sound perfectly matches the emotion and atmosphere I wanted to capture in this piece. With this piece, I hope to tell a story that feels both personal and universal. Thank you for allowing me to share this musical journey with you!

Here is my simple entry as I am a keen Pianoteq owner but sadly not as proficient in piano playing. I am interested to get the voucher nevertheless to own the newly launched new pianos.

Like most, just a last minute yearly practice without expectations of winning. Just a short cover of Both Sides Now using Pianoteq's Bechstein DG D 282 unmodified settings with a little of Kontakt's Picked Nylon Guitar

Here is my Video. I hope it is inspiring. It's a simple song only made with Pianoteq.

My lil video with some silly photos to distract from my playing skills .. ha

Black Summer 2019-20

I dedicate this piece of music to all those who suffered and died - both people and animals -  in one of Australia's worst climate-driven disasters in living history: the Black Summer bushfires of 2019-20.

Music composed by James Beattie.

WARNING: This video contains scenes that may disturb some viewers.

____________________________________

I composed and realised all of the music in this piece using Modartt's Pianoteq software, with the exception of the choir, which uses the Eric Whitacre Singers choir pack from Spitfire Audio LABS.

The very intense, wide-spectrum "instrument" that can be heard in all but the first couple of minutes of the piece is a highly processed and dramatically stretched version of an earlier solo piano piece of mine, played on one of Pianoteq's piano instruments (I can't remember which one).

The other Pianoteq Instruments I used were:
Guitar (various presets)
Vintage Tines MKI (Rainstick)
New York Steinway Piano
Tubular Bells

Been using Pianoteq for the past 10 years, figured it's time to join in on the fun!

Hey friends,
This is an original I just finished for this contest! Wrote using the Blüthner, my favourite piano (of what I have), and as I was writing I realised it worked well with the felt piano, which I don't use often, but now I love it. Just great to have such an expressive and evocative instrument. Really nice to play.

Piece is titled: 'Found Memories'

Hi all!

Here is my entry: there are still flowers: a reflection on hope and impermanence, by me, Stacy Fahrion. https://youtu.be/T4nxNE9bETM?si=6agHzte6_YkXNPMg

This piece is in a tuning I created a few years ago for another piece called Summoning a Storm. I revisited it recently and improvised with it, and this little piece grew out of that improvisation, then added my own photos of sunflowers in Colorado to the video. 

I recently released an album (Alien Dreamscapes in Just Intonation) with alternate tunings all created using Pianoteq, and I love how easy it is to create my own tunings and even boost specific harmonics within the software. The tuning circle that you see about 10 seconds in is a really beautiful way to visualize the spacing of each tuning.

Fair warning that the rest of this description gets nerdy.

It's in 3-limit just intonation, with Pythagorean commas between each white key and the black key above it. Commas are notes that are close enough in tuning that they sound like kind of shimmering slightly different versions of the same note.

3-limit means the highest prime number in the ratios I'm using is the number 3—all the ratios contain multiples of 3, or the 3rd harmonic, which is approximately a perfect 5th. So in 3-limit just intonation, essentially, I'm stacking 5ths to create all the notes in the tuning.The Pythagorean comma is about 23.46¢. (In equal temperament, there are 100¢ in each half step, so this comma is approximately 1/8 of a step.)

The fundamental for this tuning is C, E on the keyboard is actually tuned as Eb, F is actually tuned as an F# (and yes it does mess with me a little that I've programmed an augmented 2nd between E and F on the keyboard), and B is actually tuned as a B-flat, so I called this tuning Dorian #4 with Pythagorean Commas.

Greetings friends and fellow Pianoteq enthusiasts,

I am thrilled to be part of this year's contest with my entry.

This year I travelled back in time 85 years to 1939...

Composer:  Glenn Miller (he was born Glen Miller, however in high school he decided he wanted an extra 'n' character!)

I have an Aster on my back porch that, in the early days of fall this year, kept blooming when the wild flowers nearby had gone brown. Because of this, it became an oasis to pollinating bees and wasps in fairly large numbers. I was afraid to share the porch with them at first, but they were peaceful, and kept coming back every day, for like 2 whole weeks-- and they never flew inside our home! I was delighted to marvel at the beauty (and possible danger) -- and was inspired to write this song.

About the video: it's a looped video of me petting my dog in slow motion.

Notes for 2024 Modartt contest:
1. This is an original work, first published: now, 11/17/2024, made by me, bani.
2. It uses a Pianoteq 8 instrument as the bass -- the Hohner Electra Calma Pacifica (What a wonderful preset name, right?) by Klaus P. Raush

Hi, guys!

Here is my recent recording of "Take Five" by Paul Desmond.
Have a good day and good luck to everyone

Totally agree about the joy of the creativity of these performances! Yeah, its my sense that version 8.2 and above, there is a new level of clarity and manipulability especially for the Model Ds as well as the Bluthner and other big grands.

I really enjoy your style!

G'day everyone, I haven't been here for a couple of years... too busy practising... NOT!

Anyway, I thought I'd have a go at a video this year even though I've never made one before. Never uploaded one to Youtube before, either. Still haven't practised this piece enough to be able to play it from memory, but that's what videos are for, right? It uses a lot of MIDI processing, which is something I'm quite interested in. And it should be available pretty soon at https://youtu.be/KlJW53JaRhA

Cheers, Bill :-)

Here is my last minute entry:

I am playing the main theme and the first five variations from "Twinkle twinkle" (Ah vous dirai-je maman) by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, K 265 C major.
Here, I am using various piano sounds from pianoteq 8 and an organ sound from organteq for the main theme and the first variation.

Hi,

Same here... probably too late, but glad anyway to post my contribution  :
