Recording Notes

• The piano was likely recorded in a spacious room to capture natural ambience.
• The detuned character might be a result of the piano's natural tuning or intentional manipulation.
• Compression was likely used subtly to even out the dynamics without sacrificing the instrument's natural feel.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a piano sample or recording that has a slightly dark and mellow tone.
• Experiment with detuning the piano slightly to achieve that characteristic warble.
• Use a touch of reverb to create a sense of space and depth.
• Apply gentle compression to control the dynamics and bring out the quieter nuances.
• Consider adding a subtle layer of tape saturation or a touch of overdrive for added warmth and character.
