[ Closed ] PIANOTEQ VIDEO CONTEST 2019 - ENTRIES (Page 1 of 3)

I made this two weeks ago waiting for the contest. ”Chloe’s dream” is my entry this year. In my ”music story” Chloe finally found out that what the teacher said, no longer bothered her.
Steingraeber Bright.
Enjoy!
And a warm, motivating good luck to all contestants!

nice, your music is always nice to listen early in the morning

I applaude for you.
Beautiful entry.

Thank you all so much. Your kind words warmed my heart.

Beautiful piece. Don’t apologize for your skills, they’re fine. Playing with emotion and simplicity is frequently better than playing like a technically perfect show-off.

Hi everyone, here is my humble little video just uploaded for the Pianoteq Video Contest 2019!
Enjoy it

Hi All,

I'm a long time Pianoteq forum reader, not so much Pianoteq user (<1 year), but since I started, I just cannot be satisfied by any DP or other VST sound. When I've read about the contest, I was planning to record something solo piano at first, but.. yesterday my friend from high school years visited me and because we used to play and sing together 10 years ago (haven't seen each other from then), we recorded this. I hope it shows Pianoteq is also good for accompanying the singer, not only solo piano.

There are some minor mistakes, but it was a quick thing, so there was no time to polish things

I'm using Pianoteq Stage 6.5.4, Steingraeber Warm preset, with dynamics increased to 47 and condition slider at 0.4.

I like this, very nice! A sad song and it’s hard not to be affected by this pop standard. Nice to hear good Ptq sound and good singer. With my speakers it’s like the singer is in front of me and piano a bit behind. Good recording. Thank you!

Bravo! Bravo!

Wow, really enjoying the videos, appreciating the fine efforts of all, sincerely much to be proud of. Best of luck to everyone entering the competition!

Using six different Pianoteq keyboards (cropped down to fit) plus a drum track.

Very nice idea Pianoteqenthusiast and enjoy your beautiful song.

Thank you so much!

Here is my entry.  Excerpts of a mockup of Prokofiev Piano Concerto in C. 
The piano is Pianoteq (of course).  All other instruments are from the Vienna Symphonic Library.

Made with love and gloves. Bluthner chamber recording, with some reverb to counteract the tent.

Own arrangement of course!

Absolutely, not a problem.

You do know who else's compositions were around 2mins? The Beatles (well, the 60s era) - I love short form works, no matter the era or music type, and enjoy entering into these most ephemeral of worlds. That feeling of wanting more? Love it.

Also, yes. Self publishing is pretty standard.

'Published' refers to when the original video is uploaded to Youtube in this context (none before 25 Sept. 2019 for this comp.). There's no requirement to be signed with or released in some more official capacity than that, through a music publisher or performing rights body. etc.- although, that's something you might do as an artist as well of course).

Enjoy the process!

My own advice for new entrants looking for the best chance at a win, is of course to be sure to double-check the rules.

Pasted here for convenience from the main instructions page:

• Only one entry per contestant is allowed.

• The video needs to be new, not published before September 25, 2019.

• It needs to be clear on your video that you are using Pianoteq 6, either by showing the interface, talking about Pianoteq 6 or displaying Pianoteq 6 in text.

• You are allowed to use other instruments or voices alongside Pianoteq if you want.

• Deadline for participation is October 31, 2019, 23:59 CET (Central European Time).

Here is my recent learning entry to my repertoire and grading....

Very tasty, JamieCW ... what controller are you using in the video?

Regards,

Lanny

love watching all these entries.  here's mine, the jazz standard April In Paris, in honor of the French origins of Pianoteq.  sorry for the generic video idea, it's my first time trying anything like this.  i can't heap enough praise on Pianoteq, and can't wait for future versions/improvements/new instruments ...

Beautiful! Great musicianship, playing, singing, sound. Amazing song -  ”Nothing's gone forever, Only out of place, Where the lost things go”. Your exquisite expression reminds me of my son who passed away a year ago. Thank you!

For the pleasure of sharing my first original composition performed on the excellent K2 Concert of Modartt.

Thank you very much for posting this impressive video about the usability of Pianoteq (Standard).
If I didn't own Pianoteq already, I'd certainly buy it now.
