Creators! Looking for that authentic grand piano sound from a REAL grand piano played in REAL time? My Yahama C5 acoustic grand piano can be recorded, produced and mixed perfectly for your next project!

Are you struggling to find the right piano sound for your track? You've used COUNTLESS production techniques like quantisation, chord trigger function, note-by-note MIDI edits - even copying other people's loops - but it's still sounding mechanical and boring?

We've come a long way with artificial intelligence, and the value of a great piano player with perfect pitch who knows exactly what to play and when and how to play it is priceless. The emotional contour of your project is unique and deserves the perfect consideration and performance.

I can provide you with beautiful, original piano music played on an ACOUSTIC grand piano for your next project, whether that be a:
-song (in ANY style or genre)
-podcast intro and outro
-film (short, animated and feature length)
-promotional video (Instagram, Facebook, TikTok)

or anything else!

A simple click and drag of my mixed and mastered piano music into your project will do the job, and you will have that professional, original piano music you need.

I record my Yamaha C5 acoustic grand piano in high-fidelity stereo, at a sample rate of 44.1 kHz with a bit rate of 24, using a stereo instrument microphone.

Following this, I produce and mix the recording to bring out the character of piano sound your track needs - anything from bright and aggressive to mellow and sombre.

Click the 'Contact' above to get in touch. Looking forward to hearing from you.

    Alex wrote and performed a beautiful piano part for my song. I think that one of his many strengths as a pianist and musician is his ability to complement the melody of the song very well. Alex was wonderful to work with, was totally professional, and delivered his work on time. He and I also had great communication online despite the great time difference between our respective countries (Australia and the US). I wholeheartedly recommend Alex if you need any of the services that he offers!
