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...

Philip Glass Etude No. 3

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!

Hello all! This video is the first I've made with a new video editing software on a new laptop! I've kept the format the same for now, but will have the ability to do some fancier things in the future. It's very exciting. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy this!

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!
Thanks very much! It's such a great piece, glad to hear it came through well for someone else who's played it :) You definitely should get it back out!
Wow! Impressive piece of music, beautifully played.
@@christineshultz7632 Thank you :)
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._
So descriptive! Thank you for commenting, good to see you again friend.
Wonderful piano music!🎹🎼🎵🎶 Like 4👍. Thank you very much!💜 Have a great day! 🌅
Oh cool it's not bad fingering, my hands just like to lock on the right hand of 2:40-ish 💀 Thank you for letting me see your hands for it 😭
😍 😍😍
Hello Ryan, I loved your performance playing Philip Glass Etude No. 11 How you incorporated the use of triplets into piece is really amazing.
Thank you Dave!
Wonderful sir, wonderfully played. But why playing one note with one finger? Why not 3,2,1 🙂
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 :)
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
I was specifically looking for a video of you playing Etude 11, so happy you have uploaded one. I like it a lot.
Wow thank you! Great minds think alike :)
exceptional version, I love this pace a lot more
Thanks very much!
Wonderful piano music!🎹🎼🎵🎶 Like👍. Thank you very much!💜 Have a great day! 🌅
Thank you :)
IMHO I think you have the speed just right.
Thanks, I appreciate that!
Finally I can see the fingers he uses. Thank you very much for posting this so useful video
Felt a strong George Winston vibe with this one. Fantastic!
Thanks!!
Yeeeeeaaaaaaah man!
Only crazy people not love philip glass masterpieces
This is not improv but creation of new masterpiece
Thank you very much :)
I will call police on u coz it clearly your fault for made me addicted to this masterpiece
Lol glad you're still enjoying it so much!
Still listen this awesome masterpiece
No. 3 is a beast; would love to hear you play it!
I definitely want to learn the other two, but yeah 3 is a little intimidating lol
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!
Amazing 🤩
Thank you!
Wow brilliant skill and sound👍❤️
Thanks so much!
Nice! Nothing like beautiful piano music!!!!!
That was a beautiful piece - hauntingly beautiful ending.

Amazing
