Soundfly Kiefer Keys , Chords & Beats
P2P | 27 September 2022 | 2.45 GB
Kiefer has been called the best kept secret in jazz and alt-rap. Both a skilled pianist and a dynamic producer, Kiefer draws on the rich traditions of Black American music for a sound that's not quite jazz, not quite hip-hop - something entirely his own. Picture Dilla-inspired beats with rich, complex harmonies and flashy solos on top.

In this course, Kiefer showcases his approach to the piano and keys, making modern piano-based music by tackling five creative challenges and breaking down how he navigates each one. We'll be exploring how to write sophisticated and soulful chord changes, how to harmonize with a melody, how to come up with exciting solos, how to fashion short loops into interesting beats, and so much more.

If you're a pianist, or a producer with some background in piano, dive in to take your skills to the next level.
