Piano covers are particularly interesting as they often expose the underlying composition and structure of a track. The most successful producer in electronic dance music are often the ones that employ a level of classical understanding to their note progressions and melodies (Wolfgang Gartner, Deadmau5, Porter Robinson). Evan Duffy is a composer from Virginia who just few hours ago uploaded this clip of him covering Deadmua5’s The Veldt. The delicate and stripped away rendition by Evan of one of the most popular songs this summer is a wonderful reminder of how the basic elements in music are often the most powerful.
