KEYBOARD CREATIVE | #3| Game of Thrones theme music on Yamaha Genos
Posted by ePianos.co.uk on May 1, 2019.
Ok, I’ll admit it, I don’t watch GoT. But I can testify that you don’t need to watch it to have the theme tune burnt into your consciousness. I’m singing it when I’m washing up, when I’m in the shower, the car, everywhere! So naturally I had to see what I could cook up on […]

Any time I get a little time to experiment on the Genos I’m always struck by how versatile it is. It naturally has a lot of automatic settings to help the newcomer, but if you sidestep these and get into the guts of the machine’s capability you can really get the creative juices flowing. In […]

Cinematic Registrations For Genos
Posted by ePianos.co.uk on February 22, 2019.
I absolutely love film and tv themes – I’m forever watching a series and ignoring dialogue to listen to the subtle beauty of an underscore during a scene, which often ends up with me having to rewind and re-listen. I even watch films now entirely based on the fact I’ve listened to the soundtrack and think it’s […]
