A new piano sound is here to be explored: the Vertical Concert Grand Klavins M450i. An Everest of sound, a friend commented - she may be right... :-)

Our Una Corda piano has been sampled and is available as a VSTi at Native Instruments - they did a great job, it's fascinating! Also take a look at The Giant from NI, the VSTi of our Model 370 vertical concert grand piano...

Love to express myself on the keyboard now and then, only improvising... sometimes it works out, sometimes not - like real life... :-) Actually I'm a piano builder, not a pianist... ;-)

I'm recording mostly using the Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol S88 keyboard, Reaper for DAW, and various Native Instruments sound libraries, sometimes live on the Una Corda.

Wish I had more time to explore all the fine musicians here - it's fascinating, always something new and inspirational to find, within the infinite world of music..!

Please be patient with me in case I'm not replying on your comments short term - I'm extremely busy building pianos... I definitely appreciate your remarks, ideas, suggestions, and will get back to you as I can afford..!

Having been on SC since April 2012, I'd like to say a big THANK YOU to everyone who contributes to this wonderful world of music - all the friends I've made here, and the SC-Team as well..!!

As an artist Lavalu scratches the back of classical
music while poking the fires of pop.

She recently wrote and recorded a contemporary song cycle, 
inspired by composers such as: Schubert and Schumann. 
Piano. Voice. Honest and bare.
Lyrics that can be read as stories about blunt desire. 

'Solitary High' is her finest work to date. 
She has succeeded in developing a style
in which influences of Fiona Apple, Regina Spektor
can be heard combined with Debussy and Satie.

Sometimes I wake at night
And watch the rain fall through the street lights
'Cause you're standing still in my mind
Fading out, waving goodbye

And I wonder where you are tonight
If the one you're with was a compromise
As we're walking lines in parallel
That will never meet and it's just as well

Sometimes I'm overcome
By every choice I couldn't outrun
The junctions all disappear
You can't double back to your summer years

Hey! [Thanks for tuning in! :-)] This is Imanuel! But you can call me Nual. UX designer on 1 kind of keys. I usually make music on the other. I make small/useful programs, because I like to make stuff that puts a smile on people's faces
