* I do not know whether Dario Galimberti created the MIDI by entering the score or by playing the instruments, or some combination.
* I have changed the speed of the piece throughout the piece and this is my doing, not an aspect of the MIDI.
* The piano is the Vienna Symphonic Library Steinway D.
* A special mention to the Kush Novatron Compressor which was used on this track on the master bus, and which provided a lot of warmth.

Beethoven's Fifth Piano Concerto Second Movement

I am a music producer and mastering engineer from Adelaide, Australia. I create EDM and orchestral pieces. Unless otherwise indicated, all the works here are original compositions.

I have always been connected to music, but became seriously interested in music production in 2017. I am a member of the SoundGym, ToneGym, Hyperbits, mastering.com, and Defyre Society online communities.

I make my own Audio and MIDI plugins (using JUCE/C++) and use them in my productions.

Computer: 2020 iMac (10x3.6GHz, 32GB). Monitors: Neumann KH-120As with a Neumann KH750 DSP sub. Headphones: Sennheiser HD 650. DAC: Cranesong Solaris. DAWs: Ableton, Bitwig, Logic, Reaper, FL Studio, Cubase, and Studio One. Software: Sonarworks, Rogue Amoeba, FabFilter, SoundToys, iZotope, u-he, Slate, SSL, VSL, Spitfire, and many others.

Inspirations: deadmau5, Boris Brejcha, Philip Glass, Hans Zimmer, Ennio Morricone, Armin van Buuren, John Adams, Michael Nyman, Stafford Bawler, and various classical composers.

In my working life I am a software entrepreneur/engineer. I founded and exited a software company (to Quantum) and am building another software company. I mostly program in Go (golang).
