Out Of The Blue

A little improvisation of mine, published here on special request of my niece Amalija <3

Rainy Day

Passing By

The sound of our latest, brand new model of an Una Corda Piano - the 64-key Una Corda in Oak wood, without a steel frame. Listen in and feel those special vibes, there's hardly any description that would do it justice. This particular piano will go to Japan and will be presented at the Fuji City Festival on July 23, 2023, by the brilliant pianist and representative for Klavins Pianos in Japan - Katsushi Sakamoto!

Contemplating Japan

This is a demo of one particular moderator felt being attached, to change sound color...

Stellarius - by Maija Licite / Mionia

This song hit my mind today, so I tried to reflect it on the piano... 

Here's the lyrics of the original song by Rare Bird, which sheds some light on the melanholic character of the music:

Sympathy

Now when you climb into your bed tonight
And when you lock and bolt the door
Just think of those out in the cold and dark
'cos there's not enough love to go round

And sympathy is what we need my friend
And sympathy is what we need
And sympathy is what we need my friend
'cos there's not enough love to go round
No, there's not enough love to go round

Now half the world hurts the other half
And half the world has all the food
And half the world lies down and quietly starves
'cos there's not enough love to go round

And sympathy is what we need my friend
And sympathy is what we need
And sympathy is what we need my friend
'cos there's not enough love to go round
No, there's not enough love to go round.

Sympathy (Improv on the Rare Bird song)

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..!!
