One Hour of Chill Piano Improv (Relaxing, for the most part)

Enjoy the hour of improv with Keyscape. Relaxing and chill, most of the time. Also trying out my new Korg D1.

Imagine being able to just sit down and play like that for an hour...

[@somepoesia]

A dream come true

[@SamTheBeardGuy]

Hahaha. It makes you hate a lot of things, because I'd rather just go play piano.

[@slimsauu389]

@@SamTheBeardGuy what do you mean by that

[@LeatherKeys]

@@slimsauu389 I think he prefers just playing piano over doing a lot of other things, watching tv, going out, chilling...I'm guessing he enjoys playing the piano over other things. I kinda feel like that also

[@manuman84]

[@williamolson6725]

Bro! You need to take all your work to Spotify so we can play it thru Alexa, you’re such an inspiration!

[@SamTheBeardGuy]

Working on it!

[@jimmynguyen227]

Yeah man that's what I'm talking about. I know you said in your previous video you're not a big fan of classical music but how you opened it in the beginning minutes actually reminded me a lot of romantic era compositions

[@SamTheBeardGuy]

This is true. I actually really like that era of classical music hahaha.

[@SamTheBeardGuy]

What other videos do you want to see?

[@francoislernoux3611]

Well, the video where you explained concepts that changed your playing was very interesting, as a guitarist I find intriguing to understand how other instrumentalists think about music. I'm eager to see other ones in that genre ;)

[@SamTheBeardGuy]

@@francoislernoux3611 That's actually at the top of my list! I want to do something like that again.

35:00 to 45:00 really hit a spot with me, so mellow and really emotional - loved it.

[@SamTheBeardGuy]

THanks for watching!

[@juanmalc7]

as a professional pianist listenning to this just took me to a place i wasn’t since a long time! thank you sam, keep going on bro 🤍

[@deyvidpetromusic]

I can tell you enjoy playing the Korg D1 a lot more, it really shows through the way you are producing the sounds it seems a lot more smooth and effortless.

[@SamTheBeardGuy]

Yes, I love it more. The studiologic was just so heavy.

[@deyvidpetromusic]

@@SamTheBeardGuy do you find Keyscape feels closer and present also?

[@GER_1]

Some piano brand should endorse you... Great playing as always... Have a nice day! from Chile.

[@new2000car]

The first couple of minutes - the most beautiful music I’ve ever heard on piano. Very compelling music. Can you explain it Sam? What makes it so good? What were you thinking for that song?

[@SamTheBeardGuy]

Thank you! I can't really explain it, I just play.

[@keycrusader]

Really starting to look forward to these Improv Sessions. So fun and wonderful to listen to. Looking forward to hearing what you think about the D1.

[@SamTheBeardGuy]

Thanks for watching! I really like the D1. It feels way better than the Studiologic I had.

No... THANK YOU

[@fokeyjo]

Ahh.. you're so kind to put this up for us to hear... at ~17m it's a very lovely moment when it's raining! I can definitely hear a difference with this piano, you can get a higher dynamic from it. And the sustain sounds like a hall reverb, but is a very pure undistorted tone - but is that a separate effect? At this kind of quality of piano, do you get a lot of difference in the action of the keys?

[@SamTheBeardGuy]

Thanks for watching! I might have added a tiny bit of reverb to this, but that's all I would have done to the piano. This certain patch I'm using has the pedal tones cranked so it's more prevalent than normal.

[@Rocketos]

Thank you for this! Still waiting rhodes version :)

[@5amJones69]

So you're a very wonderful keys player and so I'll assume you've played on a fair few boards. I LOVE the action of the nords. It's totally my jam. How would you compare the action of your studiologic to another stage piano? For reference I've played the Roland RD800, FA 08, Yamaha MODX, CP88, Nord Piano 2, Nord Stage 2/3 (pretty sure the action is the same no?).

[@SamTheBeardGuy]

I actually hate the nord 3 action. All the other ones you mentioned are great.

[@mehdin7282]

How do you like the feel of the Korg D1vs your Studio Logic board? Sounding great as usual!

Korg D1 feels better to be. The Studio Logic is so stiff

Hahaha, it's funny, when you accidentally play it, you don't know. But then when you listen back, it's like "yeah I clearly played the lick"

Is it true that you can here some sort of little white noise while hitting notes around the middle of the piano, at the area of C5? Maybe it's the pedal noise or hammer noise hitting the strings of the piano, are these sounds that Keyscape added them selves? Or it's just me who's hearing it haha, just curious
