  Thank you, that's great!

  Oh man I actually really enjoy these audio demos as music. Anyone have good suggestions on more music like them? Piano music but in non-classical style with a touch of electronic editing thrown in.

    It makes me think, slightly, of the minecraft sound track (https://youtu.be/bIOiV4d1SVI https://youtu.be/bIOiV4d1SVI). If you haven't listened to that yet, give it a go. :)

    Nils Frahm (namedropped on the NI page linked there because he was involved with making the real Una Corda) is a good place to start, his live shows are fun too.

    Nils Frahm, the artist in OP's video, is great. His music is a brilliant combination of electronic music with piano. Frahm uses prepared pianos — meaning pianos that have been modified with things like paper or fabric attached to strings/hammers, and with microphones placed in strategic places to capture subtleties that normal recordings don't. (His solo piano pieces are full of lovely creaks and clicks.) Frahm hasn't made an uninteresting album so far. His solo piano album, Screws, is great: https://open.spotify.com/album/2EaigzcT1RHV3ILasIOfJz?si=6ixTmruCSISaKarfKiaEtw https://open.spotify.com/album/2EaigzcT1RHV3ILasIOfJz?si=6ix... His latest, All Melody, is more electronic: https://open.spotify.com/album/43hPjSOlltDtbjltUv24EV?si=Bg7bZxjWSnOTb-EEcopD3Q https://open.spotify.com/album/43hPjSOlltDtbjltUv24EV?si=Bg7... I'm also a big fan of the American composer Luke Howard, who does very much the same thing: https://open.spotify.com/album/3ruy1nBte44Ziwta8Agu27?si=7wA3w5LoRXqWL7ocVnPdxA https://open.spotify.com/album/3ruy1nBte44Ziwta8Agu27?si=7wA... Howard is also a brilliant jazz pianist. His album Open Road with the bassist Janos Bruneel is fantastic. Another superb prepared-piano guy is Clem Leek: https://open.spotify.com/album/3cwtIJImhlcIcXewI73p0D?si=N6mnmYNhTECVRx0tYUseyQ https://open.spotify.com/album/3cwtIJImhlcIcXewI73p0D?si=N6m... And then there's Dustin O'Halloran, whose name sounds like he should be a gangly, wandering folk singer, but is actually a phenomenal pianist and composer. His three piano solo albums are great. He's been doing a lot of soundtrack composition recently that mixes electronics and piano; his score for the recent film Puzzle is on rotation in my Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/6TDQmJ2G8UoCyyKFsWKsq7?si=IxTTAap3QX-kfclP5UNqqA https://open.spotify.com/album/6TDQmJ2G8UoCyyKFsWKsq7?si=IxT... O'Halloran's electronic side project, Winged Victory for the Sullen, is also superb: https://open.spotify.com/album/6vygseD1InhHomosteUnPU?si=73xeRAotRmOQNEbs0U_LJw https://open.spotify.com/album/6vygseD1InhHomosteUnPU?si=73x... The Norwegian pianist Otto Totland: https://open.spotify.com/album/7uPWpTHYqHEQTpZIlgELQK?si=ddgGiXFgTla5KQ1iMd2-vw https://open.spotify.com/album/7uPWpTHYqHEQTpZIlgELQK?si=ddg... Also check out Hauschka and Federico Albanese.

    Ólafur Arnalds is another one to check out!
    • baldfat 8y ago
      He is my favorite New Classical artist. His actually hired a programmer to control two pianos and has a custom made randomizer. As a Hacker Olafur is the most interesting artist right now. Interesting Read: https://grapevine.is/culture/music/iceland-airwaves/airwaves-2018/2018/08/09/total-transcendance-olafur-arnalds-talks-programming-pianos-subverting-genres-and-his-new-album/ https://grapevine.is/culture/music/iceland-airwaves/airwaves...

        +1 for Olafur Another artist who has used a specially-crafted MIDI-controlled piano is Dan Deacon. His stuff is not exactly New Classical, though, it's a bit more frenetic and goofy, but quite good. He talks about it quite in a bit in a Pitchfork TV video that documented him working on one of his albums, Bromst: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TPg4Vcr56F0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TPg4Vcr56F0

    You might enjoy this piece I recorded with a piano + delay fx: https://soundcloud.com/romwell/constellations https://soundcloud.com/romwell/constellations ('tis not-so-humble self-promotion, of course, but let me know if you do like it!)

    Erik Satie. Non-classical, but without electronic touch.
