Ludovico Einaudi - Walk (In A Time Lapse)

Fly, composed by Ludovico Einaudi in 2006 for his album Divenire. It was used in 2011 as the soundtrack for the French movie Intouchables.

Live video: http://youtu.be/o4tishYrb8M

The instrument is a Nord Stage 2 using a sampled Yamaha C7 piano, with some delay, an overdriven simulated Vox organ and a Yamaha CS-80 electric piano heavily processed. The small phrase played at the beginning is recorded live and played over and over by my Mac as a loopback.

Updated with a better take on Sept 11, 2014.

Night - Ludovico Einaudi (Joe Alexander Shepherd Remix)

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 - Memories Of Green (Blade Runner)

This is Piano in an Empty Room from Vangelis' Blade Runner Trilogy 25th Anniversary album released in 2007.

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.

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.

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.

Sherlock BBC TV series - SHERlocked (The Woman Theme)

Ten directions is a Eastern cosmogony’s term that means "in all directions throughout the space." These directions are the eight of the compass: east, south-east, south, southwest, west, north-west, north, north-east, plus the Nadir – to the down - and Zenit - at the top.  These "Ten directions" are often matched to past, present and future to describe the set of all places – Ten Directions - and times - Three Times.
 At any time and in any place existed a sound that awakens and resonates at a specific emotional state. A call that is heard and collected by those who were looking for it for a long time and in any direction.
 
While playing or composing, I take refuge into myself, directing the sound through the ten directions of space. Then, I let my thoughts meander both in the internal direction, the innerself, and in the outer, the discovery and the meeting. The union of these two states arouses emotion, subtle matter that can be felt by those who are listening and are on the same frequency and in tune.

 The launch of the thought starts from the silence, and then, one key after another, starts moving and traveling through the air like an arrow into space. The sound is without obstacles, in the ten directions, and resonates through the invisible world of vibrations. Announces itself and enters the inner space. It comes to ears, the hearing organ, and shakes all the other senses. It kidnaps, touch the nerve centre and pervades us. It meets and joins up with something that is already there, and is welcomed as it was expected all along.

 The sound is clear, it radiates and spreads everywhere, and comes back, in a two-way process, creating contact points and unexplained bridges. Is a dimension that affects and charms because we recognize it, surprised and excited at the same time. As a light, it illuminates hidden areas through the mind and the heart, and reaches the deepest part of our inner. The listener and the player finds themselves alive in a sensitive state, and this sharing creates the communion, the union of sound and spirit, music and noise away from fiction, which dwells always and everywhere in the ten directions.
