Piano Music

Recording 101 was finished on October 20. The hope is to begin work on the album, Hallowed Be Your Name, the week of October 26. It’s an overhead take on the acoustic piano with Piano VFX, mastered in 4K at 60 frames per second, with the audio edition cut from the same master.

Recording 100 makes 30 recordings since the series relaunched in April. Like the others, it’s a full overhead take on the acoustic piano with Piano VFX, mastered in 4K at 60 frames per second, and the audio edition is cut from that same master. Parts for the first version 5 LED bar test are still on the way.

Recording 99 is part of a push to record ahead, so there’s enough material scheduled to run through the end of November, including two weeks of work travel. It’s the full overhead take on the acoustic piano with Piano VFX, mastered in 4K at 60 frames per second. The audio edition is cut from that same master.

Recording 98 was played on version 4 of the LED bar, printed in transparent filament. It is brighter than the black bar, but the light spills onto neighboring keys, so the black bar is back in use until the per-key version 5 design is built. That design needs a custom circuit board, which puts a prototype at least a month out. As usual, this is the complete overhead performance on the acoustic piano with Piano VFX, delivered in 4K at 60 frames per second. The audio edition uses the same finished master and skips the short title card at the start. Once enough episodes are scheduled to cover the weeks through mid-November, recording shifts to the album Hallowed Be Your Name.

Recording 97 is the first one since version 3 of the LED bar was finished. Version 4 is being printed in transparent filament for comparison, and a version 5 design with one focused LED per key is in early testing. The edit is the full overhead performance on the acoustic piano with Piano VFX, delivered at 3840×2160 and 60 frames per second. The audio edition comes from the same finished master, minus the opening title card. Live streams will probably pause for the first two weeks of November because of work travel.
