Piano in a Living Room

Variation 18 of Rachmaninoff's Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini composed in 1934. Rachmaninoff said of this piece: "This one, is for my agent." as he sensed it would become a commercial hit. It's composed by playing upside down the original melody from Paganini. The original is like a piano concerto (solo piano vs orchestra) and I'm trying to do it on a single keyboard with sampled sounds.

The theme was used in the movie Somewhere in Time in 1980 starring Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour.

The instrument is a Clavia Nord Stage 2 using a sampled Bösendorfer grand piano and sampled orchestra strings.

Transcription for solo piano by Hermene W. Eichhorn. Re-uploaded with new take on Jan 26, 2014.

This theme is reprised several times, called The Heart Asks Pleasure First/The Promise/The Sacrifice. It is based on a traditional Scottish tune titled "Gloomy Winter's Noo Awa".

The instrument is a Clavia Nord Stage 2, using a sampled Yamaha C7 grand piano, and one single note of sampled strings.

Note: replaced with a better take on June 3, 2014

I play it faster than it should. That's how I love to play it, it makes me laugh and feel good, but yeah I understand it's too fast.

The instrument is a Clavia Nord Stage 2 using a sampled Bösendorfer grand piano, oh, and you may spot a short sample from the amazing movie Amadeus.

Mozart - Turkish March (Rondo Alla Turca)

At that time I met a stranger, her story was sad and her voice gentle.. She saw and heard what no one should.. She suffered a lot. I recorded lullaby for her to make our world quieter, less scary, cold nights warmer. Many times my music was written by empathy, maybe this one is an illusion of fear that we pass through. It seems to weep over the idea of utopia, happiness. Everything needs a little bit of silence .. Even music..

The Way Love Emerges

Souvenir of china

Love Theme from Romeo and Juliet, composed by Nino Rota for Franco Zeffirelli's film in 1968. The song based on this theme is called "What Is A Youth" in the album.

Live video: http://youtu.be/4b4oFp7yYbM

This has been covered so many times, as an instrumental by Henry Mancini in 1969, and as a song called "A Time For Us" by numerous artists. Lana Del Rey also did a very nice cover with a different chorus called "Old Money" in her album "Ultraviolence".

The instrument is a Kawai VPC1 controlling a Nord Stage 2, using a Bösendorfer sampled grand piano with some delay effect, sampled mandola and orchestra strings.

Updated on Feb 26 with a better take.

Colleen, aka Cécile Schott, is really one of those artists where if you know, you know. Her run of albums from 2003-2007, mostly on The Leaf Label presented an exquisite set of dream-worlds, where you could easily drift away on her loops of cellos, bells, flutes and musical boxes. But then a six-year hiatus from the music world made it almost seem like it HAD been a dream. However, she returned with The Weighing of the Heart in 2013, easily up there with her very best work - and now, teamed up with Thrill Jockey, she's showing that she's stronger than ever. This is the first track from her Captain of None album coming on April 7th, and damn, it's beautiful.

Real Life Charm are the eight-piece collective who hail from Norwich, Cambridge, London and Colchester between them. Their music, which sounds like a harmonic fusion of Alt-J, Caribou and Coldplay with a gentle tinge of Gorillaz, has already seen them pick up spins across the BBC Radio 1 network. This electronic indie-pop crew doesn't stop at music either, art and illustration is also a huge focus for the group with them creating all the artwork for each of their projects (look out for their i-D mixtape artwork coming soon!). Now its time to get into the mix as they bring the flawlessly weave through the hottest in hip hop, house, techno, R&B and beyond.

Trying to replicate Vangelis' Memories Of Green from the Blade Runner soundtrack.

Live video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqn6AuCiA_s

Vangelis composed (improvised?) Memories Of Green in 1980 for his album See You Later, but it's not as famous as the Blade Runner soundtrack in which the track was included too.

The instrument is a Nord Stage 2, using a sampled Bösendorfer piano with a flanger effect, some synthesizers controlled with an expression pedal, and a generous amount of reverb.

Vangelis plays it on an acoustic piano with beautiful ambient room noise. I tried to replicate the feeling by boosting the pedal noise on my synth, and I added some pads that get pretty dark and intense towards the end.

The instrument is a Nord Stage 2, using a sampled Steinway grand piano and virtual analog synthesizers controlled with an expression pedal, and a generous amount of reverb.

Soundtrack from the movie The Sheltering Sky (Il tè nel deserto) directed by Bernardo Bertolucci starring Debra Winger and John Malkovich.

The instrument is a Clavia Nord Stage 2, using a sampled Yamaha studio C7 grand piano, with pedal noise and string resonance, and sampled orchestral strings.

The Woman theme, aka Sherlocked, from the BBC Sherlock TV series, composed by David Arnold and Michael Price in 2012.

Live video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJWZ5bI0Ksk

The original features a lot of violin and beautiful sounds, I'm trying to do a rawer keyboard version of it.

Sheet music: http://www.michaelpricemusic.com/products-page/scores-shop/woman-theme-from-sherlock-violin-piano-sheet-music/

The instrument is a Nord Stage 2 using a sampled intimidating Yamaha S4 grand piano, some virtual analog synthesizer, echo and a very generous amount of reverb.

Live video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1nvnvdT79UY

Adding a lot of reverb and dark synth pads to this piece, making it sound a little bit like something out of Vangelis' Blade Runner soundtrack. I'm playing it too fast.

The instrument is a Nord Stage 2 using a sampled Steinway Model D grand piano, some virtual analog synthesizer, and an enormous amount of reverb.

Fennesz + Sakamoto - Flumina 0327 ( D.S.edit )

La Boum Theme, composed by Vladimir Cosma for the French film La Boum ("The Party", or "Ready for Love") starring Sophie Marceau (the evil Bond girl in The World Is Not Enough - they always pick French actors to play evil characters anyway). Richard Sanderson performed the song "Reality", and the 2011 Korean film Sunny used it too.

Live video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CcjhTxLWxXs

The film, cult in France, is about insecure teenagers falling in love so I thought that all my mistakes playing it would fit the narrative.

The instrument is a Clavia Nord Stage 2 using a sampled Yamaha CS-80 electric piano sound from 1976 (synth used a lot by Vangelis but for other sounds) and hints of strings.
