How to write a film score with ONLY a Piano!

[@petrzakrzewski]

What a great piece of music. Sometimes simple = better.

[@rene.rodriguez]

Stunning piece.

Beautiful library and inspiring track. Good to see you in action again Dan.

[@TheBawss90]

Amazing instrument and composition!!

Gorgeous piece Dan, reminds me of the ‘Interstellar’ score (particularly cornfield chase and the end of the main theme) in places with the atmospheric background contrasted against driving momentum. Definitely took me on a lovely journey this evening, thank you for sharing this piece and for giving us such a detailed walk through of it. So good to see new videos from you, you’ve been missed!

Feels good to be back! Thanks for watching :)

Totally agree, Section 4 is SO BEAUTIFUL❤I also learned about Spotlight Piano, it just made into my wishlist...! Very inspiring, thanks for that :)

[@elaute1]

always a great day when i see a new DKM video ready for consumption leading to inspiration and absorption! Thanks always to you, DK, for sharing your world and ideas with us!

[@AndromedaX8]

That's really a wonderful piece Dan! Absolutely love it! It really shows what is possible with just the Spotlight Piano alone. Thank you for all of the great tips!

[@swessels]

Dan, the effort you put into creating nuanced and evolving textures is wonderful. Inspirational. Thank you for this.

[@DanKeenMusic]

Thank YOU for the kind comment!

@@DanKeenMusic you should also start giving the mi di mockup file if its possible especially with LABS library videos to understand the how to play on different presets etc.

Absolute amazing piece Dan. Love the insights into your thought process. I’m sure we will see you compose for some big films in the future. Oscar one day… 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Beautiful piece Dan ! your a prodigy, keep your great work on point ! I hope the best ;)

[@Terre-Sauvage-Music]

Vraiment magnifique, bravo merci pour tes conseils très inspirants

[@StephenTallamyMusic]

Saturated to buggery! I mean if you are going to saturate something then why be subtle? Great video Dan. Fracture Sounds make some of the best pianos for emotive music. I’m sure I’ll have to pick this one up at some point.

An acoustics professor used to love saying that pop music is “compressed to buggery” 😅

[@dafingaz]

Nice!

[@blueeyedcat3443]

Cool video, Dan. How you make your sine bass at 6:10, is there a video where you make it?

[@DanKeenMusic]

Yes! kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJzEp4J3YreMqKc

[@lycomedes]

"Cinematic" is a word that is thrown around a lot in the VSTi world. How would you define it?

[@DanKeenMusic]

I think “cinematic” implies a sense of scale that could take well to enhancing the emotion, drama or tension in film, tv or games music. How would you define it?

[@batman-robin-soundtrack]

If you can do it with only a piano then I guess it's possible for me to do it with only violin and flute

[@vray2904]

...Can I write a score without piano?
