Safe Haven – Resident Evil (Linnstrument cover)

Hello, everybody!

A couple of weeks ago I released the first video of me playing my Linnstrument. I’m happy to share another one – this time with both hands on the Linnstrument, rather than having one on the piano. This time it’s the safe room theme from the first Resident Evil game, titled ‘Safe Haven’.

The biggest challenge of this one was learning to keep the flow of notes in my right hand steady while sliding around with the left – initially sliding made me rush the other hand. There are a couple of times when I played to softly to get a note with my fifth finger on the right hand, but I’m happy for this video to stand as a measure of my progress.

I’m planning to write a more consistent blog about how I’m practising this new instrument – I think it’s essential that any teacher keeps learning new stuff, whether in the same or different fields. Breaking down one’s own learning can help generate new ideas for teaching.

ZERO – Resident Evil Zero (piano and Linnstrument cover)

Hello, everybody!

I recently bought a Linnstrument, one of several modern electronic instruments known as expressive instruments. They allow for a lot of nuance in performance that digital pianos don’t offer. I just uploaded a video of a cover I’ve been working on, combining piano (played on my digital piano, and violin (performed on my Linnstrument). You’ll hear the occasional slightly sharp or flat note, as I have pitch quantisation turned off (as violins have no frets). That’s something I’ll iron out with more practice.

I hope you enjoy it!

I’m excited about the possibilities as a composer, in particular.
