Without her... feat. Alicia's Keys

New track.... This is a piece I wrote and performed using NI's Alicia's Keys. A warm and very expressive piano that I would highly recommend to any ballad song writer. Full of nuance, this piano cries out to be played... and with careful use of the sustain pedal and the overtones settings you can get very worthwhile results. I also used IK's Philharmonik for the string quartet.. again, a very useful tool in any writers armory!
