"Free update adds #1 most requested sound from Keyscape users

To celebrate International Piano Day (the 88th day of the year), we are thrilled to announce the release of a special new Double Felt Grand piano for Keyscape® — available now to users as a Free Update. This v1.5 release represents the first time that we have added a brand new instrument to Keyscape - and the “felt piano” has been the #1 most requested sound from Keyscape users.

Creating the Double Felt
Normally, the highly coveted 'felt piano' sound is achieved by draping a layer of felt vertically between the strings and the hammers of an upright piano. This softens the strikes and gives the upright piano an intimate, muted tone. Because of gravity, this technique is not feasible on a grand piano, since the hammers and strings are situated horizontally. The felt would simply lay on top of the hammers, preventing them from rising up to strike the strings. Attempts to attach the felt above the hammers, against the strings, yields less-than-satisfactory results and laying the felt on top of the strings mutes their sustain drastically.

Through careful experimentation, renowned piano technician Jim Wilson (creator of the unique Yamaha grand used in Keyscape for the LA Custom C7), discovered how to achieve this gorgeous muted sound on a world-class 7-foot grand piano. After a great deal of thought and experimentation, Jim ended up carefully cutting, fitting, and gluing two individually layered strips of a thick, natural felt to each hammer.

Sound/Software Development
Once the acoustic piano was prepared in this special way, our acclaimed Spectrasonics sound development team (led by producer Eric Persing) then painstakingly sampled the instrument at our newly developed private recording studio — which features some of the largest naturally ambient recording spaces in Los Angeles. To complete the experience, our amazing software team developed lush new DSP reverb algorithms that are exclusive to this new Keyscape sound. The final result is the unique Double Felt Grand: a warm, soft piano with the best aspects of a felt upright, but with the body and the decay of a grand.

New Keyscape Video
To celebrate Piano Day and the release of the new Double Felt Grand, we’ve also produced a new Keyscape video featuring a beautiful performance on the new sound by Sony Classical artist Olivia Belli."

Driving at night in the Pacific Northwest | Synth Wave & Psychogeography

video upload by Mamotreco

"Music for driving around late at night in the Pacific Northwest. Merging lanes through saturated tail light reds as the bright headlight halos pass you by. This is what this synth music and accompanying video is all about. This track 'Cybersyn - Centre Autoroutier' is part of an album called Intrigues Telematiques which is all about the melancholy feelings of forgotten technologies. Centre Autoroutier is French for a fancy rest stop. Rest stops in France were generally well maintained into the 90s and early 00s and featured functional but stylish architecture, well-appointed amenities, and even in modern sculpture works ... a sort of Eurotruck geographical vaporwave of late 20th Century nonplaces. This video however was shot in the Pacific Northwest which gives this track a different hauntological connotation due to the psycho-geography of that region of the United States.
