November Piano

This is November Piano.

It will take you straight into the darkness of November.

The foggy fields and the rainy days.

It will fill you up with nostalgia and melancholy.

It’s inspired by my track “November” and I wanted this plugin to be just as sad and gloomy as the melody of that composition.

The sampled piano is my felted living room piano. It’s an old dusty piano that I’ve tried to tune myself, which obviously makes it far from perfect.

But since I put felt into it the character of it have really started to shine through and I’ve grown to like it a lot, despite all its shortcomings, or perhaps because of them.

Although I’ve done a lot of sampling in the past this is the first time I try to make a proper kontakt instrument, so just as the piano itself it’s far from perfect. But maybe that’s what I like about it so much.

Hope you’ll enjoy it too!
