"The Toy Piano" by Mike Huntingford

[Mike Huntingford]

I have had this piano piece for a long time and never really never knew where to take it. I was playing around with Keyscape (which is wonderful by the way) and came across the toy piano. I played my piano piece with the toy piano and voila - I present "The Toy Piano". I hope you enjoy this short but hopefully pleasant piece...

Hi Mike, Very nice creation!
I love the peaceful vibe this song delivers.
The combo of viola and the toy piano is so wonderful.
I am enjoying this piece.

I love this toy piano... sounds like lovely wind chimes Mike and you built so nicely around it.  Soothing, relaxing, ethereal piece.

Lovely little piece.  I've been eyeing up Keyscape for years - I already use Omnisphere and Trillian - and am even more tempted now.

I really dig the sound of Toy Piano when used like this and this arrangement is incredible. You certainly have an ear for making great mood music as well as the hands to play such complex piano music. Excellent job!

Hi Paul,

First, thank you for your kind comments. WRT to Keyscape, you'll be happy to know that it will fit nicely inside of Ominsphere (I have Ominsphere 2 and love it). The acoustic pianos are wonderful, but you will need fast drive as it is sampled. The electric keyboards are now my go to keyboards (note I own a bunch of real keyboards, Roland, Yamaha, Korg, and even Casio) and I go to Keyscape for any EPs.

Thanks again,

Mike

Hi BerryPatch, thanks for your kind words. Ya know, giving peace to folks is may focus. Especially in these times. I do take an great deal of time to use instrument choices that give the illusion of real.  Regarding complex piano music, I am very very much a beginner with no formal training - that being said, I will take your compliment graciously :]

Thanks again,

Mike

A cool cinematic mood piece. This reminded me of Philippe D'Aram, especially the toy piano sound and the way it was used. The orchestral stuff was a lot more "Hollywood".
