I’m always thankful for your constructive words Stephen whether your feedback is positive or negative. Your are very thoughtful and I really appreciate your valid words of musical wisdom. I’m glad you enjoyed the music and that you can reminisce on some of your own beautiful memories. All the best and thank you for listening. ![]()
Hi there! I am currently reworking a bunch of the electronic project and am having a delay (awesome update, I will have a visualiser with my next song), but in the meantime, I am looking to revive the piano project that follows up my first one. They weren’t in the completed stages as I was having some trouble with the chords/theory and structuring of the tracks. Any feedback is very welcome!
I just watched the AQ Piano Pro video where I heard Christian say that he was tired of the “thonk” of felt pianos, which reminded me that I could probably share one of the tracks I recently created for an indie game. It features plenty of thonk, but it’s also the first time I got to include String Murmurations and Marshall Brass in a track, so here we go:
Crow Hill instruments come in at about 2 min. Feedback is always welcome ![]()

Superb Noah,
I love the Library ![]()
Hi all,
I have used a number of Crow Hill instruments in this piece, but particularly wanted to make use of their recent pianos: Gong Piano, Chrystal Pianos, and AQ PIANO (Vaults version), to see how they might work together. Hope you enjoy…
As ridiculously beautiful as I’ve come to expect from you! Thanks for sharing, Ali.
Thank you for such kind words Steve. Deeply appreciated

Yeah, I agree with Mick you’ve got the makings of a really good collection Noah. I’m looking forward to hearing them when they are fully completed. Well done Noah.
Jonathan I loved the melodic steady rhythmic undertone which you have combined with a sonic overtone to create a really cool ambient track. Well done.
Ali, I totally agree with Steve. This is such a beautiful track which resonates really well with me. Great softness of texture, great slowness of tempo. This for me is a powerful but pieceful composition which projects an atmosphere. Well done.
As always Michael, you are very kind. Thank you for making time to listen and for your lovely comment. ![]()

Thank you! I don’t know if I did all of that on purpose (more like trial and error), but it’s one of my personal favourites from the score, so I think it worked out…
Thank you so much @Michael_Urquhart and @mickkiss2005 ! I am trying to blend my first project and these new ones to have an actual full album rather than longer EP’s. I have been re-doing the piano piece I did for the attic grand competition (which is still one of my favorite memories. I was coaching cross country running at the time, we were heading to our state meet, and while on the bus I am watching the Crow Hill town hall and see my name come up as the competition winner, it was actually the first time I made any music of mine public, and will always be a great memory) I hope to keep the same magic I had, but throughout the whole project!
I’ve been enjoying experimenting with the transposition controls on the Absurdly Quiet Piano Pro - transposing down an octave then playing an octave higher on the keyboard, or vice versa. This is worth trying with any sampled piano, generally making the timbre darker (transpose down, play up) or brighter (transpose up, play down), but the unusual nature of the AQP sounds inspired this improvisation, which I then embellished with the “Subtle Clarinet” from Pianobook.
@ed.harper this is beautiful! Congrats!
Is this your video along with the music? It is fantastic!
Hey all! Here is the current project, I will keep updating this as I am going. Stream Noah Stockton | Listen to Piano Works playlist online for free on SoundCloud
Thanks for sharing, Ed. As Noah said, just beautiful. Thanks for the insight into transposition and timbre too. I’d kinda felt that should be the case based on harmonic substructure and frequency spread, but I’m a drummer… what do I know about pianos!? ![]()
This piece is really, really beautiful. Marvellous work Ed!
Thank you so much Noah! The clips are all stock footage from Getty but I have edited them together to create the video. Thanks for taking time to look, listen and comment. ![]()
