Philip Glass Etude No. 5
Переглядів 2762 місяці тому
Hello everyone! It's an overcast November day here and this piece fits the vibe I think. It's very meditative, and is written in a really cool way. The variations are played one at a time, before being played all together on the last page. Glass knows how to make what seems to be a very straightforward and basic piece interesting and challenging. I hope you enjoy it! My official Facebook page f...

Hey all! Here's Glass's Etude #3. It's a fun one, and one of the hardest I've played so far just because some of the transitions between patterns are really tricky. I hope you enjoy!

Philip Glass Etude No. 1
Переглядів 2726 місяців тому
Hello all! Here's the first of the set of etudes by Philip Glass. I really like this one, repetitive as it is. The themes that come in between the main arpeggiated sections are really nice and fun to play in their simplicity. Hope you enjoy!!

Philip Glass Etude No. 11
Переглядів 6647 місяців тому
Hey all! Here is Glass's 11th etude. Each one of these I record ends up feeling like my favorite until the next one comes along, and this one is no different. I really like this one, it's so dramatic and goes through some really great contrasting moods. There are a lot of places where the pattern changes from 16th notes to 8th note triplets and back, with also some quarter note triplets thrown ...

Hello all! I went with a different vibe today, very minimalist. I wanted this feel of the left hand ostinato while the right hand changes over it. I hope you enjoy it!

Ambient Piano Jam

Hey everyone! I found this really nice ambient piano sound and when I started playing with it, this piece basically wrote itself! I had a great time adding in the strings and synth sounds, plus creating the beats with Logic's Drum Synth plugin. I hope you enjoy it!

Alberto Ginastera - Danzas Argentinas Op. 2 No. 1
Переглядів 1539 місяців тому
Hey everyone! Here's an absolute blast of a piece, Ginastera's first of the three Danzas Argentinas. I just learned this piece, but I think i'll do the other two as well, so stay tuned for that. This is a challenging piece, but the rhythms are so much fun, and the parts really fit well in the hands. Hope you enjoy it! My official Facebook page ryanswankmusic1 The Journey on Spotify...

    I was plagued by technical difficulties and realized too late that there's a spot of audio missing in the middle. My apologies for that, I'll end up uploading a new version once I've recorded the rest of the set :)

    Such a fun one! I'll have to dust this on off and see how much I remember. Definitely one of my favorites by Rachmaninoff. Love your melody throughout; it's a tough one to bring out with all the busyness and you made it sound so beautiful!

    • @ryanswankmusic4207
      @ryanswankmusic4207 3 місяці тому

    This is the score to the opening scene of a movie, with someone important in the back seat of an armored sedan on the phone, a cooling rain pelting the exterior... Opening credits flashing in contrast to random expositional flash-backs. The rain.... the tension... the _cooling rain._

    Hello Ryan, I loved your performance playing Philip Glass Etude No. 11 How you incorporated the use of triplets into piece is really amazing.

  • @ΕΛΕΝΗΒΟΥΛΚΙΔΟΥ
    @ΕΛΕΝΗΒΟΥΛΚΙΔΟΥ 7 місяців тому

    Wonderful sir, wonderfully played. But why playing one note with one finger? Why not 3,2,1 🙂

    • @ryanswankmusic4207
      @ryanswankmusic4207 7 місяців тому

      Thanks! The fingering decision was actually the result of the action on my keyboard not being quite fast enough for 3,2,1 repeated notes. On an acoustic piano I'd play it that way but with this keyboard one finger was just the way it had to go :)

    • @m.a.g.3920
      @m.a.g.3920 2 місяці тому

      I neither like the 3-2-1 fingering on this, you lose the correct super strict pace, I prefer the nuances you get with only one finger

    That's a pretty sweet improv man. I'm not sure from a production standpoint how easy this is, but if you have the keyboard I think you do, I've always found transitioning from strings to piano a really cool sound, maybe something you could mess around with at some point. Love the choir vocals in this too!
