I so enjoyed exploring HEIRLOOM with all of you. If you are a UNIFY user, please check out the description where you can download my Unified Patch Library for HEIRLOOM.
That is so kind of you. The strange thing is that I am responding to what ai am hearing from the instrument. I guess something about each instrument has qualities that trigger something inside of me that takes me into these special spaces. It is never rehearsed only responded to. Thanks so much for your encouraging support.
Marvelous playing, this convinced me to purchase this library and I have no regrets though my musicianship is quite lacking compared to yours. Thank you!
My pleasure Joe. Music finds us all in the place where we are and takes us to places we never imagined we could go. Your journey is just beginning. Thanks so much for watching and your encouraging support. Oh and tell Spitfire, Simeon sent you 🤓Joyfully!🎹
Yeah, I sometimes forget about the modwheel, as there is so much going on ;^) I think the textures here are very beautiful and am glad they went a more traditional route with the piano, it is very nice indeed. Thanks so much for watching.
Bret, yes I go into these with a blank slate of sorts, it allows me to be free and respond authentically to the sounds I am hearing. Sometimes I might have a thought or a theme but you never really know. Thanks so much for the kind encouragement, it means so much. Joyfully!
@@PraiseTracks I was looking at other video reviews of Heirloom and sometimes they'll have a short recorded piece they made at the end of the video. And then I look at your video, and the entire 37 minutes is just a beautiful concert (the ending was awesome). Your chord progressions are just on another level and come so effortlessly. Even the Spitfire staff can't demo a library the way you can. You're one of a kind.
I often suggest viewers to forward feedback to the developers if there is something on the channel they have enjoyed watching. It helps out letting them know. Thanks again for your kind words and support.
Hi Simeon. I've just bought Heirloom, mainly on the strength of these amazing demos you do. Everything you play just sounds perfect for the patch you've selected. You truly are a skilful talented player. Spitfire Audio ought to hire you to do their demos or at least give you a free copy.
David, I really appreciate the kind words of encouragement, they are much appreciated. I am blessed to have a good relationship with Spitfire as they have provided the instruments for me to review so I can share my experiences with you. it never hurts to drop them a line 😎 Thanks again and please let me know if there is anything I can assist you with in the future. Joyfully! 🎹
You know I never thought about it, I just reach for the note and hope it lands somewhere musical. Lately I have been finding myself really reaching for those wide open voicings in my left hand, it seems it just provides a solid support for what I am playing up top. Funny story was when I was getting ready to be enrolled in elementary school the counselor told my mother I might have trouble in school holding my pencil and such because of my hands 🙌🏻 I love how God always has the last word, and frankly I hear Him laughing each time I share that story. 🤓 Thanks so much for your kind support and encouragement, I really appreciate it. Joyfully!🎹
Thanks John, growing up I wish I would have gotten into practicing a little more as there is so much to learn and experience. I am amazed when I listen to Oscar Peterson, Chic Corea, Herbie Hancock and many others, thinking of the hours they invested. Every opportunity to play and share is another step forward in the musical practice. Thanks so much for watching. Joyfully!🎹
Fantastic play-through and grateful to also see the beautiful passages you exhibited on the keyboard. I just ordered Heirloom, what great sounds. Thanks so much, best from Pennsylvania.
Thanks so much Brick. This has some wonderful possibilities for sure. I love that Spitfire is utilizing different studios and experimenting with different section sizes. Again, thanks for watching and the kind encouragement.
Superb demo Simeon, thanks! That piano/string combo in Unify was exquisite and a perfect match for "In Christ Alone". This is another Spitfire library I didn't know I needed until I saw your demo. 😊
Jeremy, I am so glad you enjoyed watching. I just uploaded my Unified patch library for HEIRLOOM, you can find a link in the description to download it. Thanks again for all of your kind encouragement and support.
Barry, I have done a few things which you can find on most of the streaming and music services. I have so much that needs to be out there. Thanks so much for watching and the kind support.
Gotta admit sir you made this library sound amazing, made up my mind purchasing after watching your video, thank you so much for the effort! BTW, I was wondering if there's any good marketplace for spitfire plugins? As I would need to sell some of them at reasonable prices.
Hello Troy, I am so glad you enjoyed watching. Spitfire libraries are really wonderful to experience. So as far as reselling, I am afraid that Spitfire does not provide an allowance for that. Here is a link on their website providing a little more detail: bit.ly/Spitfire_Policy_On_Reselling_Libraries
Oh definitely, it takes me a little while to pull the livestream down after it processes, that is when I can edit these flashbacks. Also UA-cam doesn’t always promote livestreams as much as stand alone videos so it gives an opportunity for more viewers to see the content.
Steven, it is a Bechstein upright that was recorded at Church Studios. It has three velocity layers.Here is some more information from something I posted recently to VI-Control. vi-control.net/community/threads/anything-similar-to-spitfires-heirloom-piano.126283/post-5124482 Let me know if you have any additional questions. Joyfully!🎹
Oh yes, and it can also serve as a standalone host so that you can create entire setups when performing live. You can also use it inside of Logic if you are on the Mac platform and it can serve as sort of a wrapper to allow you to use VST and VST3 plugins as well as Audio Units. It is also a very efficient in helping to manage CPU when using multiple plugins inside of a layer. Thanks for watching, please let me know if you have any additional questions. Joyfully!
Oh yes, it has to be my favorite of what I would call a modern hymn. I will never forget the first time I heard it, such a powerful, affirming message that has held me up many times.
@@PraiseTracks One of my favorite moderns, as well. I generally like older hymns, especially those of Isaac Watts and earlier, but this is definitely one of my favorites -- wonderful melody, and even better words.
@@PraiseTracks Did you have to work on hand flexibility a long time ago to be able to play that with the left hand? I can barely do it and then my hand hurts a bit afterwards. Maybe if I practice some kind of hand stretching.
Clarkson, this was one of the many times I follow the sound. When I hear tones and textures they somehow guide me into these types of improvisations. These improvisations draw on the vast amount of musical snippets that are tucked away in my memories waiting for the right time to come through my fingers, I am amazed and grateful when that happens as it is such a special moment. Thanks so much for watching and for the kind support. Joyfully!🎹

Simeon, dude, your keyboard skills are actually insane. I couldn't believe those guitar riffs while I was listening in the car!
That is so kind of you. The strange thing is that I am responding to what ai am hearing from the instrument. I guess something about each instrument has qualities that trigger something inside of me that takes me into these special spaces. It is never rehearsed only responded to. Thanks so much for your encouraging support.
Wonderful music !
Wow, your piano playing is absolutely beautiful! I almost started tearing up when you brought in the strings haha
Me too 🤓Thanks so much for watching and for the kind words. I love sharing these moments. Joyfully!🎹
I'm two years late to this one Simeon, but your piano playing is beautiful here. Thank you for the great demo.
My pleasure. I appreciate the kind support.

Anointed
Thank you, my friend. Joyfully! 🎹
Love 16:50 When you start singing "In Christ Alone". Beautiful hymn. 😊
Best demo ever. I stand with Jesus.🎶👍
Thanks!
It is truly a pleasure my friend.
Wow, it’s fascinating…it looks like you didn’t even touch to any modwheel/ expression/dynamic …and it sounds good 👌
Yeah, I sometimes forget about the modwheel, as there is so much going on ;^)
I think the textures here are very beautiful and am glad they went a more traditional route with the piano, it is very nice indeed. Thanks so much for watching.
You're something special, Simeon. Are you improvising all of your playing and lyrics? It's soulful.

Incredible When you play it!
Thank you so much my friend. Joyfully! 🎹
Simeon, you grab your 10th intervals so easily--back in the day, were you ever able to reach an 11th?

Beautiful Sounds.
Nice performances
Yes, I was pleasantly surprised at how nice this collection is, lots of potential here.
Incredible when you play it!
Thank you my friend. Joyfully!🤓
You make it look so easy, must be the years of practice.

Soooo beautiful!!!! Thank you sir....

Thanks so much Brick. This has some wonderful possibilities for sure. I love that Spitfire is utilizing different studios and experimenting with different section sizes. Again, thanks for watching and the kind encouragement.

Thanks so much Mon, I am so glad you enjoyed watching and listening. Joyfully!🎹🦋

Fabulous piano and strings. have you written any music?
Barry, I have done a few things which you can find on most of the streaming and music services. I have so much that needs to be out there. Thanks so much for watching and the kind support.

@@PraiseTracks :( That's too bad, anyways looking forward to your new videos!
Great Idea to revist the highlights. How about bringing back CHORUS for an oncore?
Oh definitely, it takes me a little while to pull the livestream down after it processes, that is when I can edit these flashbacks. Also UA-cam doesn’t always promote livestreams as much as stand alone videos so it gives an opportunity for more viewers to see the content.
Stay tuned for it is scheduled to show up Monday morning ;^)
Wait, Keaton Henson is Christian's brother?!
Oh yes, incredible talent all around. Thanks for watching. Joyfully!🎹
What brand and model piano is it?
Steven, it is a Bechstein upright that was recorded at Church Studios. It has three velocity layers.Here is some more information from something I posted recently to VI-Control.

Let me know if you have any additional questions. Joyfully!🎹
@@PraiseTracks Thank you. It sounded so nicely bright and at first I was almost wondering if it was a Steinway!
Unify is a plugin ? That combines plugins ?
Oh yes, and it can also serve as a standalone host so that you can create entire setups when performing live. You can also use it inside of Logic if you are on the Mac platform and it can serve as sort of a wrapper to allow you to use VST and VST3 plugins as well as Audio Units.

In Christ Alone. 14:07

@@PraiseTracks One of my favorite moderns, as well. I generally like older hymns, especially those of Isaac Watts and earlier, but this is definitely one of my favorites -- wonderful melody, and even better words.
The left hand E Major 3rd chord is a heck of a stretch.
😎 Yep, gotta love me some open chords. Thanks so much for watching.
@@PraiseTracks Did you have to work on hand flexibility a long time ago to be able to play that with the left hand?
I can barely do it and then my hand hurts a bit afterwards. Maybe if I practice some kind of hand stretching.
Not really anything out of the ordinary, I just try and go for it. I think some flexibility exercises would be a good thing to help avoid injury.
What is that beautiful tune @ 22:40 ?
Clarkson, this was one of the many times I follow the sound. When I hear tones and textures they somehow guide me into these types of improvisations. These improvisations draw on the vast amount of musical snippets that are tucked away in my memories waiting for the right time to come through my fingers, I am amazed and grateful when that happens as it is such a special moment.

@@PraiseTracks that progression and your execution was His Grace moving through you! Keep it up!
@@PraiseTracks very "Aaron Copeland"
Pedal noise. Not needed
Yeah, it can be very distracting at times and one of the first things I turn down.
Thanks so much for watching.
