Solacitude
My keyboard is my refuge, where I can find solace in solitude. I'm focused on piano composition and improv, alternating between light and darkness, it may evoke melancholy, hope, resolve, nostalgia, torment, peace ❤

I was kinda under the impression you were a madman in a practice room at some sort of university frantically trying to manually move around your microphones around the room to get the perfect sound. Like you literally had 4 tripods set up or smth with microphones recording you live as you played on an actual Steinway. And all those microphone edits you made were just adjusting those in real time.

Regardless of my very specific imagination for how you recorded your work, I’m glad to hear you now have an orchestral VST. It’s time to put some orchestral oomph behind the emotion of your pieces. Though I don’t want to see it overtake the simplicity of a pure piano sound, rather just supplement and support its journey.

hahaha that's a funny imagery going on ^^
Recording an actual Steinway in a studio with good quality mics would be the best way to capture an ideal piano sound! I have to rely on VSTs and a keyboard. Some libraries come with easy to use presets, different levels of precision, different color. Though I try to do my best in post process to craft a sound that is pleasing to listen to, and I also do my best to play in a way that makes the library's qualities shine. The same Steinway piano recorded by two different library creators can sound completely different!

You hit something here about the orchestral library. I'm not sure I'll publish anything other than piano with this name. At first I was thinking about keeping "Solacitude" 100% piano, and I may stick to this idea .Other than potential collaborations where there could be any instruments, I think I might publish only piano on this account. I would probably a different name for other instruments, orchestral and maybe electronic at some point too.

@Solacitude honestly electronic from you would be very interesting indeed. Funny how we’ve essentially had the opposite progressions, me electronic to orchestral and you classical to orchestral then maybe electronic. If you do end up creating a second account, I’ll be sure to follow that one as well.

Solacitude

I finally created it! ^^ https://solactro.newgrounds.com/ I will now post anything that is not piano over there.

Everything can be learned in any of those genres so your progression is as valid as mine. For as long as we have this passion for music, it's all we need to keep progressing. I will probably make a news post announcing my new account soon enough so at least people who follow my piano journey know that I dabble in other genres too. I felt like it's the right thing to do in order to keep consistency with Solacitude account.... I wouldn't want people following me, expecting piano, to suddenly be thrown off by some crazy electronic experiments! :)
