Impact Soundworks Hammered Klavier | They Put Real Hammers On A Piano | Livestream Flashback

[@Mattiaskrantz]

I can’t believe he did that to the piano. What an idi*t!! Really nice review btw😄

[@PraiseTracks]

Thank you so much.

[@PraiseTracks]

Well my first thought was, Wow, that’s so amazing”. I think it takes a lot of courage to take on these types of challenges. It is like many of us have thought about these scenarios but you take the leap and bring those ideas and concepts to life, that is something I really admire. I cannot wait for your next adventure. PS please sample it 😎

[@apreviousseagle836]

Goddamn this is awesome

[@Mattiaskrantz]

By the way can I use a few seconds of your playing (I can’t play piano haha) in my next video? I’ll credit ofc. I’m going to briefly test the VST. But this time I’m putting 88 tuning forks on the piano

[@PraiseTracks]

That would be so amazing. After the video, I realized that I forgot to play River Flows Through You 😃 Please let me know what you need and I will do what I can. My address is [e-mail]

[@Siseja]

@@PraiseTracks I feel this is something that needs to be rectified

[@PraiseTracks]

@Siseja , I am working on it 😎

[@Siseja]

@@PraiseTracks I cant wait!

[@matsv201]

Well.. you play better than me.. i guess 3 years of piano lessons are a total waste when there is no talent what so ever to back it up

[@HLEBNY]

Imagine a parallel universe where all the pianos have a steel hummers, and one guy makes a wooden hummers modification of a piano, that everyone around describe as a unique and incredible sound, then they make a kontakt library for it, and it sounds like an ordinary piano in our universe.

[@PraiseTracks]

😳 That sounds just about right. If you go to Matthias channel he is doing so many crazy things that I hope result in more of these types of experiences. Thanks so much for watching and the really cool feedback.

[@twocanucksful]

I was thinking about the harp as I was listening. Of course there are differences, like when hit the lower range with strong dinamics. Thanks for the review. Very interesting.

[@PraiseTracks]

Yes, it is hard to pin down exactly what you are hearing. Another viewer mentioned the sound of a dulcimer, but I also hear some harp similarities due to how the strings are excited by the hammers. That low end, is extremely dynamic which I find interesting as well. Thanks so much for watching and the kind encouragement. All the best.

[@stratagama]

This seems like something that would be a great asset for movie sound design to mess around with playing chopsticks or some Scott Joplin.

[@PraiseTracks]

Yeah, that is the crazy things about his instrument, it has such a unique signature. When you pair it with the sound design elements and processing it only takes off even further from there. I am hoping that Impact Soundworks do more of these types of collaborations. Thanks so much for watching.

[@iisshiko]

Love the sound, it sounds like a whole Orchestra in one piano, I can't wait to hear songs and music in general played on this.

[@Lintary]

When I saw Mattias his video on this and the playing I was instantly in love with the sound.

[@PraiseTracks]

Yes, I have watched several of his "experimental" piano deconstructions but this one really grabbed my attention as it was a really viable possibility to play it effectively. I am so glad Impact Soundworks to note of it, and hopefully there will be more libraries like this in the future. Thanks so much for watching.

[@holmd90]

This is a really unique sound for an instrument, and I am so glad that Impact and Mattias partnered on this. Can't wait to pick out bits of it being used in random tunes I hear as producers start playing around with it

[@jakesteampson7043]

13:40 I definitely need more of this Edit: At 15:10 Someone add a freking hurdy gurdy to it, please, I beg you

[@blockbones9626]

I NEED a full song of whatever he did at 13:40 because that was heavenly

[@jaywright9924]

He's improvising around the theme to BBC's Sherlock. Maybe someone could do a cover of it using this VST

[@peterflotner361]

I love your playing with this VST!

[@PraiseTracks]

It is a lot of fun, especially due to the unique nature of how it was put together. Thanks for watching.

[@maxmustsleep]

such a cool video! love what you did with the hammer klavier sounds!

[@PraiseTracks]

Max, it is amazing what different sounds can inspire. It looks like there are more of Mattias’s creations coming from Impact Soundworks for us to enjoy, the 88E being the latest and it is a Free Kontakt player instrument which I think I s fantastic. Thanks so much for watching and for the kind support.

[@PenitusVox]

Love how you immediately fall into just the right tune to play for the different effects settings.

[@PraiseTracks]

This library was so much fun because of the unique way it came to be. The tones are so crazy familiar, and at the same time very new. Thanks so much for watching and for the kind words. All the best.

[@MrCinhcet]

your library videos are the best!

[@PraiseTracks]

Thanks so much. I really enjoy presenting these wonderful instruments to you, and so grateful for your kind support.

[@apreviousseagle836]

Dude, I'm clapping. Such a beautiful sound, it sounds like a Roland JV Piano smashed with the Korg SG and Kurzweil PC1 piano all at once

[@PraiseTracks]

It is a truly fascinating concept, the sound is definitely hard to describe but also the piano that was sampled is equally so interesting, and only that could have produced this sound, I am hoping that more collaborations like this are in the works. I am so glad you enjoyed watching, welcome to the channel. Joyfully 🎹

[@The_Mister_E]

I was just about to say. It's like those extra bright JD sampled pianos that give the dedicated reverb and chorus sections a lot of high end to work with, but sampled in the modern age.

[@apreviousseagle836]

@@The_Mister_E OMG yes that is a great way to look at it. That's exactly what I was thinking, worded in a different way. It sounds like the high end of the JV Pianos (maybe even the M1 Piano) but with the body of a Yamaha Motif, or Korg SG-1 Piano. Now if someone took a Steinway and put real hammers on it, lol

[@hodshonf]

like you mentioned, has a dulcimer feel - very nice.

[@PraiseTracks]

Yes, it is hard to put your finger on exactly what you are hearing, as it is such an unconventional approach. Thanks so much for watching.

[@simon8377]

13:40 Is this a special theme or just improvised? It sound great, especially on the hammerklavier!

[@PraiseTracks]

Well, it is all improvised. There is a little bit of the "Sherlock" theme in there. Thanks so much for watching.

[@brytonmassie]

Toss a coin to the Witcher!

[@trentogimor9479]

I BEG OF YOU DO A FULL VERSION OF THE ONE PLAYED AT 13:40 IT WAS DEVINE

[@PraiseTracks]

Well, you never know what might happen. I am trying to figure out how to do a version that won't put me at odds with the BBC 😎 Thanks so much for watching, I am so glad you enjoyed the improvs. More to come.

[@breadman0512]

Nice BBC Sherlock intro there at 13:40

[@PraiseTracks]

Thanks, yeah, the sound is like the GPS that tells you where it wants you to go and your fingers just follow, it is such fun to find yourself in those moments. Thanks so much for watching.

[@breadman0512]

@@PraiseTracks Oh yeah, np, thanks for making this video!

[@will6699]

Great review and love the playing!

[@PraiseTracks]

Thanks so much, Will, this one was so much fun. I am hoping for more collaborations between Mattias and Impact Soundworks.

[@Siseja]

Watching you play around makes me sad im not a music producing/mixing person. I would have loved to get my hands in there too and make something really fun with all this creativity but i have neither the talent, the tools, or the time in my schedule to add yet another hobby xD

[@ashtmslf2315]

Talent has nothing to do with it, but yeah it sucks now having enough time to learn something you want to do

[@PIZZA20OO]

Somebody can suggest me some piano track/album or artist with this cool fantasy feel style 13:40 ? Btw fisrt time on this channel and i love your style and this library as well

[@PraiseTracks]

Welcome to the channel Andrea. I think that I ventured into some of the BBC Sherlock series music. Those wild percussive piano and clavichord like instruments just feel like they are on the verge of losing control, very mysterious and fun. Thanks so much for watching.

[@soderingiron133]

I love the stuff that this guy is playing I have no clue what it is, but it sounds familiar

[@PraiseTracks]

Full disclosure, neither do I 😂 Seriously though, the majority of what you hear are improvisations that pull from years of listening to everything from the hymns, to Bugs Bunny, jazz standards, classical music, movie soundtracks, even Sherlock. Those fragments have a crazy way of getting reassembled when they are triggered by the right instrument. Thanks so much for watching, I appreciate it.

[@juliansherman23]

What is the song called at around 13:40? I believe its from sherlock on BBC but i cant find it anywhere. :\

[@PraiseTracks]

Well, it is an improvisation based on that theme, then it just goes crazy from there. Something about the way the Hammer Klavier sounds in relation to the tonality of those themes. You can also hear a similar tone with Hans Zimmer’s Sherlock movie scores. Thanks so much for watching.

[@Jericho27]

9:42 i hear mr. roboto. XD the low drone note with mystical upper synth like sound.

[@PraiseTracks]

Domo Arigato ;^)

[@Jericho27]

@@PraiseTracks mr. Roboto

[@apreviousseagle836]

What song is that around 9:40? It is just improvising? It sounds like the theme of a show on the tip of my tongue

[@PraiseTracks]

Yep, just improvising all of the crazy melodies that are buzzing around inside of my head. All it takes is for the right sound, tone, or feel to trigger something, and then we are off to the races. 🤓

[@apreviousseagle836]

@@PraiseTracks I know what that's like my friend. I'm more into the FM style EP's (I have an SY99 and 01/W), but I loves me an interesting Acoustic Piano as well. Yeah I like the M1 Piano, lol. Mattias is a crazy rock star with what he has done. I'm going to have to bite it and purchase that VST. I only have Reason as my VST loader, so hopefully I can get it to work with that free Kontact player somehow.

[@dannyallround]

the tune around 13:00- 14:10 is that something you made up? or can i find it somewhere? sounds sweet to me :)

[@kakaoen4]

Some of it has some from the BBC series Sherlock Holmes theme in it. The rest i have no clue about :D

[@PraiseTracks]

Yes, exactly Ryan, the rest was just improvising around some of those ideas. Thanks for watching, it is so much fun bringing these reviews to all of you.

[@andykrew336]

5:27-6:30 Gives serious funk clavinet vibes

[@PraiseTracks]

😎, yes it is a pretty versatile instrument. Lots of fun. Thanks so much for watching.

[@saberleaf3659]

@@PraiseTracks it sounds really good, i wish i knew the name. really good stuff there..

[@PraiseTracks]

So listening back, this is all just improvising. I can hear a little Billy Preston, Stevie, and yes some Michael Jackson “Bad” near the end. The instrument just makes it easy to get lost in a groove. Thanks so much for watching and for the kind words.

[@Transform108]

Hey, great review. I picked this up. What's that fun song you played on Popcorn Pluck setting? Around 730. Seems like from a game? Anyways check out Impacts Modern Harpejji ... feel like its not getting the love it deserves in the review circles.

[@fandore12]

ow much for you to play chrono trigger music ? this would be perfect for that style of piano.

[@PraiseTracks]

That sounds very interesting, I will try and check that out. Thanks so much for watching.

[@fandore12]

@@PraiseTracks that would be amazing, i would very much love to hear that... if i was any good at playing myself, i would... i only ever got good enough to mess around with jazz with the bechstein baby grand my father use to own some time back ago when i was a kid. please check out the chrono trigger OST as the sound track was originally written by Yasunori Mitsuda. a very well known and somewhat famous composer. he wrote this music with string and wind instrumentals in mind. Yasunori Mitsuda made the music with a full orchestra but as it would be used on a super nintendo console system, the full sound track in its glory is rarely herd.

[@pesh5819]

это все круто а как в флке то открыть

[@Jericho27]

What was the first song he played? it sounded so good!

[@PraiseTracks]

Jc, most of the time I am improving whatever is coming through my fingers. The sounds are what take me on these amazing journeys. There are times when the improvisation will venture into the familiar. Thanks so much for watching. Joyfully 🎹

[@Keroser1983]

For some reason I could not like the sound. It is not about the quality it is about the content :) This is something I am not familiar maybe because of that. Amazing tool of course and very good video again!

[@PraiseTracks]

Thanks my friend. Yes, the sound is definitely unique and your brain has a hard time interpreting exactly what you are listening to. This is for sure a character piano and would be useful in some situations in scoring and sound design. As always, I so appreciate your kind support.

[@HawoxX]

The melody at 13:00, is that improv or is it a piece?

[@PraiseTracks]

Well, it started as an improv that turned into an interesting take on the BBC Sherlock theme 😎 Never quite sure where things might take a turn into something interesting. Thanks so much for watching.

[@HawoxX]

@@PraiseTracks Thanks mate! There is a really good tune in there. Great review, by the way.

[@TM-jo4wz]

I really like the sound/idea but not the tuning. Maybe the hardness makes the piano tune out.

[@explanationtomakethisworld9833]

Do you want to know why everyone's life must exist every moment? 🙂 Understanding this truth will help you know what to do and what to not do.❤️ Hence kindly tell Mattias to not kill insects to make strings or anything please Do you need any help? I'm with you.👍
