[ Closed ] Pianoteq video contest 2013 - entries (Page 1 of 2)

Hi!

Here's my post, using Pianoteq 4 with Bluthner add-on, on a custom digital piano which I built, starting from a comercial unit with a Fatar keybed, using HP computers (one for Cantabile, running Pianoteq, the other running Cubase for backtracks and for triggering video sequences and lights programs), both with touch screen monitors.
I hope you like it!

Very nice song and interesting information but I'm sorry to disappoint you by telling that the video does not live up to the contest rules (it is published before Oct 15th and there is nothing in your video that tells that you are using Pianoteq 4). Feel free to publish a new video that lives up to these requirements in case interested in participating in the contest.

Here's a clip with one of my young students (17) in my music school.
We've decided to record this one today.
It's her own rendition containing several songs by Einaudi Ludovico.

As you can see, this entire recording is "live on tape"/no overdubs

We've chosen the fabulous model "D4"

Hope you like it.

Cheers
Robert

Hello!

I got inspired with the modified Pianoteq 4D sound,that I got  somewhat soft . But, it is always about personal taste. What do you want – thin or warm? Much reverb? Depend on what you are looking for. And what kind of loadspeakers you use. For me it is a joy to use Pianoteq in this way this time. I am charmed, although I dont find myself a pianist, more as a newbie with chords. Some pianovirtuosos can play difficult music, and I, old retired man, can not compete with them. So I chose the opposite, and played a simple,old,nice swedish melody and chords, ”Vem kan segla” – anyway, it´s all about Pianoteq sound now. In the 3 short  simple variations of the melody, I try to express my inner thougts and happy feelings – and hear the waves at Gulf of Bothnia. Thanks to Pianoteq sound, I forget time and space and enjoy and enjoy....
It is fantastic to edit,store and listen to a Steinway D concert grand in the corner of my small room.  But,there is one more thing,as Steve Jobs used to say –  I think that the people behind Pianoteq really understand how important music is for man. Thank you,Modartt!

Hi!

This is a video of my rendition of David Nevue's "Dark Afternoon" from his new album "Open Sky". I used Pianoteq 4's Grand YC5 tweaked to my liking. Pianoteq is amazing software for recording and performance.  Thank you for your consideration.     Shawn

Yes Bravo !

hi all .... my entry

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VElBvT6zreU

Here is my entry.  Three short pieces using multiple instances of Pianoteq 4.5 Standard.  The first song is O, Holy Night, done with the D4, Cimbalon and Vibes. Next is "Puff the Magic Dragon" done with just about all the Steel Pan models, Addictive Drums and OrangeTree Cherry Bass.  The last piece is "A Closer Walk" done with an "age modeled" D4 and a Honky Tonk U4 in a piano roll style.  I don't have the piano chops to pull off some of the amazing classic piano pieces that I've heard on other Pianoteq demos...so I tried to be different!

Thanks, Lanny!

Hello,

My request is to the Pianoteq team:

If I publish on YouTube a movie trailer with my original soundtrack performed on Pianoteq AND display this (along with the info on the preset used) in accompanying text, will I meet the Contest rules?

I believe the importance of the pianoteq contest is to help presenting pianoteq, divulgate on youtube.  That's why I believe it's importante to talk about pianoteq and presente it's features and models in the vídeos.

That's my humble suggestion to the participants.

My submission, an original song called Lonely Life, performed by my band Mu-Theory

http://youtu.be/9yZeuFKVJQc

The original video is very hi-res and if you like it enough to join our mailing list I will make it available for download on request.

Lonely Life was written by Ian & Tony from Mu-Theory and released on Mu-Theory's first studio album "Until We Lose It". In that release (see http://mutheory.bandcamp.com) the piano part was played on a Yamaha 7' studio grand piano and all parts were recorded in a pro studio. In this version the piano is played on a keyboard but the sounds are produced using the Pianoteq software by Modarrt. The main piano part uses Pianoteq D4 Classical BA  and the piano solo feature the historical Graf with the Rhody R2 Basic in the rock section. Drums, vocals, guitar and bass were recorded in a home studio with accompanying video and the piano parts added later. The audio track was mixed in Cubase and the video produced using Final Cut Pro X.

This version differs from the original in a few other ways, the bass player (Ivan) from the original is no longer with us and our current bass player (Pat) learned the song on short notice for the recording. As this is a piano video contest the focus is more on piano and guitar only appears in the middle section. A small cello section part was added using a sample library. Otherwise, the band actually played along with the original recording so form and length are unchanged.

Mu-Theory are:
Tony Brewin - vocals
Ian Rutherford - keyboards
Stuart Naylor - drums
Chris Birchall - guitar
Pat Ferdinands - Bass

find us at www.mu-theory.com or www.facebook.com/mutheory

I hope you enjoy the music and the Pianoteq sound.

Regards,
Ian

I had not in mind to post more than one video, but I couldn't resist... So here is my second entry!

http://youtu.be/KtWW-DViVj8

Hello to everyone on the forum.  My submission for the contest is the 1st Movement of Piano Sonata No. 21 in C Major, Op. 53 "Waldstein," by Ludwig van Beethoven.  My video is located at:

http://youtu.be/1wlMPZppyls

I have been working on this Sonata for quite a while.  I actually used an Internet downloaded Midi recording of this piece to evaluate the Pianoteq software several years ago when I was deciding if I wanted to purchase it.  Beethoven is my favorite composer and this is one of his many Sonatas that I like.  In addition to using Pianoteq, I recorded the video using the KXStudio repository of tools for Ubuntu Studio.  I am quite amazed and impressed with the quality of the various tools available for making and recording music.  This is the first video I have ever published on YouTube.  I hope you enjoy this video as much as I enjoyed making it.

Here's my entry,

Kindest Regards,

Hi folks,

since Pianoteq is one of my all-time-favourites when it comes to software instruments, I thought this is a good chance to go public about it :

http://youtu.be/_HhGRDVojFU

Even though a real piano will always have it's physical advantage over a simulation, there are also features of the virtual counterpart, which hardly can be matched by the wood and steel instrument. One of these bonuses is presented in this video about the making of the center part of the song 'seek sense' by me and zymondee.

Cheers,

Oh, sorry for the inconvenience by my mistake - now it is public!

Here's my very humble entry, it's my favourite piano song ever "One man's dream" by Yanni.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3H9tdsVfs2k

I'm using the D4 and Blüthner layered together, with slightly harder hammers than the default, and a bit more soundboard impedance on the D4. The synth sound is produced by the excellent open-source program Zynaddsubfx. Video edited with Cinelerra.

Better late than never I suppose. :-)

HI

Here's a VERY late video :-)
Just an improvisation with the beautiful D4 - I used the Daily Practice....
cheers

Excellent Job phil -
both in presentation and performance :-)

cheers, Eran

I know this one's very late, but I thought it would be good to show a Pianoteq's amazing harpsichord model.

This is my own composition - an invention in the style of J. S. Bach. I wrote it in Logic's piano roll and saved to midi then imported into Pianoteq, 'cos just haven't got time now to practice it well enough to do a video - so I've done this screen video of the Pianoteq interface as it plays. You'll see the screen video lags a bit, but hey!
