Under the Heavens | Writing Session
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 3 ก.พ. 2022
- While filming for more studio tour stuff, the guys captured me playing through some of my new songs. Under the Heavens emerged from this writing session in real time - we didn't plan any of this.
My favorite things to watch are documentaries on how things are made, and I'm always looking on TH-cam for behind the scenes of the artists that inspire me because I want to know how people work and what they're like, so I thought putting this out might be fun. It's honest, raw and identical to how I think and talk to myself when nobody is there watching. None of the audio is time or pitch corrected in any way. What you hear is what we captured while filming.
I wouldn't call this an episode as much as it's a look inside my writing process, and Under the Heavens just happened to emerge from it.
Speaking of which, Under the Heavens is out now on all streaming platforms: fanlink.to/tonyanderson
I might have the second studio tour film done in May. But maybe not. I've had some requests to finish the tour after releasing the first one, but I'd rather spend my time writing music than being part of making any more films (on most days!) - if you're a filmmaker you know what I mean. It's 100x the effort compared to music. The team and I are talking about what to do next, but please be patient. Enjoy this little short film in the mean time...or don't...

Thanks for your support - Love you all - เพลง
I also enjoy figuring out, and watching documentaries on how things are made, so I can’t resist watching these 😊 And what I find so captivating about your process and your person comes from the music you make. Your music is such excellent artistry because the music taps into a peaceful feeling that I can only get fromquite quiet places in nature that have no manmade sounds. Such as standing in a deep dark night and looking up at the stars, or lying under big trees, looking up at the skies through a green canopy whilst listening to the rustle of the leaves.
It is strange how artists often hold keys that unlock spaces in our minds, that we do not know how to acess ourselves.
It isn't easy to put into words, and may sound silly, but I wanted to express my gratefulness.
So thank you, maker of exquisite music. Your music makes my life better, and also help me study by keeping me calm when hundreds of pages of advanced physiology is stressing me out >
WOW!!!!! You know how it is
Dude I was expecting some 'Meow" moments but we got something more meaningful and touching. Glad to be alive to experience your music Tony.
Meow
Medow? :-)
Every piece of music you make is an academy award winning score to a movie that hasn’t been made yet…
I love your music very much!
Thanks for your support!
This is so nice
ANDREW!!!!!
Just found out about you today, thanks to Andrew.
I'm checking out the music, but I can already tell you that you are my favourite philosopher of the year
7:20 When he hits the first note of the released version, OMG Heavenly Goosebumps ❤❤❤🎉🎉
Art is when you have a vision of what could be, and then you help others get there as well. Tony is an artist.
Ever since I listen to your music I have grown to love your music and how to make it. And I have gotten so much inspiration from you. I want to make music like yours someday it really touches my heart. thank you 🥰
I hope I get to hear what you make one day
@@TonyAndersonMusic I hope so to I really love your music
Could listen to Tony play the piano all day. That reverb and delay tail is just insane. Music for any time or scenario. World Class!
The first two minutes of this had my dying 😂😂😂. Crazy how it goes from that to a complete overload of emotional and beautiful piano. You’re awesome, Tony
Tony Anderson, you are one of my favorites by far. Loving your work.
Your music Tony is taking me places... 😩😭we need more sessions like this 🙏
One of my favorite songs of 2022. I listen to a lot of music but this track has over 200 plays since I first heard it. I will never get tired of this song, it’s fantastic. I am also a fan of delay and reverb.
Please release 1:36, it is so beautiful!!!! Thank you Tony for giving us insight into your work. Blessed to listen to this stuff.
came here to say this! That idea certainly needs to be released. Too beautiful not to be
YES, this would be amazing!!!!
When Tony ! Been waiting for the other song originating out of this studio visit for months !

Your music is healing.🎶
Everyone has a different way of describing there thoughts..., I just wanna say that your music stays among the things in my life that are precious.
Amazing process, one of my goto numbers for relaxing 🤩👏
Cant seem to think of a great vocal to match this song with, but could be interesting to hear it with a perfectly matched vocal 😃
Your piano sound is breathtaking.
DUDE 1:36 is awesome. Would love to hear more. Keep doing what you doing tony. We all love it.

You're one of my favorite artists when it comes to tripping on psilocybin mushrooms. I swear I melt together with your music and the universe. It is an incredibly moving experience. All the emotions just float throughout my entire body and mind.
The Best!
How can i comment when i am speechless...............
I love this, I listened to it on my walk the other day while watching the sun set behind the mountains where I live.
As always absolutely brilliant ❤️
Thanks so much for your love and support
Absolutely LOVE your music Tony!!!!! Keep it up 💜
Hands down the best piano sound ever! The image, verb and delay works so well together!
You’re absolutely my favorite composer. Thank you for all your music. It’s a gift❤️
LOVE THIS! This is soooo good man! The new single is insanely beautiful.
Love the videos as well, the studio tour and this one is a pleasure to watch. Thanks for all the inspiration!
🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
You and Joep Beving are the best pianists of our time. I’ll listen to absolutely every single solitary thing y’all create. It’s a joy to witness a small part of the process. Thank you 💜
Megan!!!! Thank you. But I have to say Joep is a true pianist. So is ludovico. I’m just over here meowing into microphones
@@TonyAndersonMusic you’re a true pianist to me 🥺
@@TonyAndersonMusic Meowing Into Microphones. We have a new side project...
Dude. So so good. The layers and depth. Loved getting a glimpse of your process and your creative experimentations. Huge fan of your work. Keep making epic things. 👊🏻
I discovered you on a VR video back in 2018, and damn I'm glad I did. Your music changes lives. Thank you
Thank you for sharing the Behind the Scenes of your work. This is the process that countless people do not witness or overlook. You are an inspiration to my writing. I look forward to listening to your next album.
Love the reverberations. So beautiful. 🎹🎹🎹
Man, if the piano mic'ing video won't be out in the next 12 years, I'd seriously pay just to have a Zoom call and nerd out on mic techniques with you. Such a nice sound you've got there. I'm getting close to what I'm looking for but still not there. And that's with 5 mics on my piano.
It’s more about how you EQ each individual mic position to begin with. Remove that’s unnecessary from each microphone recording and keep the best parts. Then you can focus on making a stereo mix of all the mics together. I print mine through varying tube EQs and channel strips to remove midrange buildup and enhance brightness and low end. It’s both of those working together
@@TonyAndersonMusic Ah that's super helpful. I've mostly been doing my EQ on the piano bus as a whole. Typically, it's either too bright with more piano noise than I'd like (from boosting everything), or too muddy. I'll have to play with EQ'ing each mic signal. I've been hesitant because I try not to overdo it and do more harm than good. Something I can do easily.
@@cjthomasmusic oh yeah. Purists don’t like to EQ their mic positions… I know some people who don’t use equalizers at all because they believe that signifies poor mic placement… In my opinion, I like to use the tools at my disposal. Only thing to be careful of is to make sure you aren’t using any high pass filtering on your individual mic positions unless it’s absolutely necessary… If you have a stereo pair of the same microphone, I would avoid doing any low cutting… I use my master piano bus to do low-cuts. And even then, I wait till I’m mixing the entire song to do so with my piano stems. I turn on natural phase mode in the Pro Q3 (instead of zero latency mode) when mixing my songs to do all high pass filtering.
@@TonyAndersonMusic Following up to thank you for the advice! Here's a video I just shared employing some of these techniques. Although I still have a ways to go. th-cam.com/video/eCOTHRkGEO4/w-d-xo.html
@@TonyAndersonMusic I've been following your piano mic techniques and just got a beautiful Yamaha U3A and have been micing with dual Coles 4038 (thank god for izotope rx denoise), dual sE8s and a Mojave 201 centered. I have been FIGHTING midrange buildup so much and tryin to hard to get a sweeter sound purely off mic placement but it is SUCH a challenge unless the piano just naturally sounds like that. It's been such a headache for me I started to believe maybe my piano just isn't right (though it sounds good to my ear)
Then I read this comment today and realized it does need EQ and I feel *relieved*. Thank you SO MUCH for sharing this info. If you ever did a recording/eq/mixing video on your piano I would empty my bank account to pay you : ))))) Or if not that's cool too but just please making music so I can swim in that beautiful piano tone and reverb tail.
I can listen to this new song over and over again. Thank you for sharing your creative process!
Beautiful and majestic music
Soul connection 💖
!!!
Just awesome….been waiting for a new release….love you show how you work
That piano is so warm. Truly epic.
You have always been my number one artist that inspired and inspires my film making, thanks for all the great pieces you create
Loved the music! Amazing job tony as always
This video has been such a blessing. It's pretty crazy how easy you make it seem, but I know for a fact this comes from years and years of hard work. Your'e killing it dude
Absolutely love the final product but I'm glued when watching the "how" of the track build. Masterful and smooth. Thank you for sharing this with us! Cheers!
I loved watching this happen in real time.Thanks so much for sharing!
Brilliant - absolutely brilliant composer. ❤️
nontalent
This was amazing to watch!
Under the heavens.. and through to an opening where the angels and loved ones are encamped around enjoying it and taking it all in - 📣"Thank you Tony!" 🙏🏼
Some people are born to create music, you are one of them. Your music does liberate us.
I'm so inspired with your work. you are part of a 3 person study. keep it coming . love your work, !!! oh I said that already
Well done, another masterpiece to collect in my best playlist. Thank you for your beautiful music!!
You have such a beautiful soul, you can see it reflected in the amazing music you make. Thank you so much for your music Tony.
This was BEAUTIFUL. I truly appreciate watching a behind the scenes of how you create and your thought process going about it. This is inspiring! ❤️🎶
beautiful ive loved your music for so many years now just watching this made me cry man in a good way just hits my soul
👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲
Bro you’re my inspiration to do music man. Like this is just wow. You’re most definitely a Godsend.
Man I love your music and these session videos and studio tours, is really great to see how these melodies were made, please do more like that 🙏🏼 blessings from Argentina 🇦🇷
I know you get this all the time but your work is so beautiful. I am an artist and I have been inspired by your music many of times. It also helps me calm and focus.
Mannn, you are my new favourite artist, special thanks to Andrew for the tour vid! Absolutely love this style of writing session video, can't wait to see more! X
Tony, you keystrokes always strike cords directly into my core and thanks to this video I now also know the source of the gentle mechanical sound in your recordings! Keep it up man! I hope you never run out of inspiration!
Just breath taking 🖤
Esperando con ansias.....😍😍
Hey Tony, do you have a video explaining your equipment set up? Would be really great if you could do a video on that : )
You never fail to connect me to myself again. You bring me back home.
I checked over and over and finally see your update! ! Just want to say hi and want you to know that I am soooooo happy to see your update
1:19 mmm Yeah, I'd buy that :D.
Love watching you work Tony! This is so cool!
Hahah. It was not about the song. The two guys, Daniel and Austin, use that phrase to talk about when they really like the lighting. So I say it a lot to try to make them laugh when we are recording, but I just now realized it sounded like I was saying I would buy my own music. Whoops.
Tony, you sure know how to mic a piano - sounds gorgeous. so much detail!
So much feeling in the way you play. I'm such a huge fan of your music!
Playing with SFX...like skipping rocks across a pond :) Always excited to listen to a new piece from you especially in the actual creative process, thanks Tony!
Pedals and piano are blowing my mind these days!
simply a work of art! keep creating these wonderful songs! a hug from your brazilian fans
I just listened to this on Spotify for the first time and closed my eyes.
I saw myself on a huge field of flowers, wearing a summery long dress and my hair down. Me and my love, happy, as we throw our son into the air and play. Laying on a picnic blanket, my son asleep with his head on my lap, and my husband next to me, whispering words of love while gently touching my belly, where my second son is.
Not pregnant right now but this is what I saw when I closed my eyes. It was wonderful and hopeful. Thank you brother for writing this.
I can sense like a different tone to this song. Nuit I absolutely loved, and still adore and I still belong to the 0.5% that listen to your songs most on Spotify😜
But Nuit was different from this. To me at least, I felt sadness or maybe even confusion in Nuit, feeling distant to someone, or even a bit lost on the way. And still before any song endet you still perfected it with such melodies of hope. Its like you were struggling with something but never had complete hopelessness. Its like you always knew there is light at the the end of the tunnel. You never gave up. And I guess thats the hope that we carry when we carry the light in us, bc God is light and we as his children will struggle but never lose hope. Under the heavens I feel like comes across as if you are over the hill with whatever was causing u difficulty. Its so much lighter and airier in „texture“ (haha can I say that for music??). It made me dream of my future. You are talented. As always. Forgive me if I have offended you with anything here or made wrong assumptions. Im just writing what Came across to me, I might be wrong. But that’s the beauty of music, there is room for interpretation. I love you brother. Always love to hear from you. 💙💙💙
Da li si otslušala danas ovu njegovu najnoviju i u konačnoj verziji kompoziciju "Under the Heavens" (gore se čuje u drugom dijelu klipa)? Da li te možda note podsjećaju na jednu drugu melodiju? :)
Amazing stuff. Great music and thanks for the dating advice!
What! I gave advice?
GUESS WHAT, Maaan! Huge respect for showing us the process and how it's done. Thank you for writing session and another dose of inspiration with a great music
Meow!
I haven't listened to the official audio yet but here I am... about to shed a tear. 🥲
Another masterpiece, Tony A! 🎉🎉
Your music transports us elsewhere. And it's beautiful there.
Love this! Waiting for that piano recording/mixing walkthrough! 😍
I've been loving your work ever since the first piece of music I heard from you (Ember). Whenever you release something new it brightens up my day. Thanks for letting us take a look into your creative process. I'm looking forward to your new releases.
Wow. Thank you Joris.
The emotion of instantly hearing the keys and feel everything in my heart 🥰❤️ LOVE ALL NUIT, thank you for an incredible album, one of my favorites
Thank you Audrey!!!
Merci pour ce moment de partage et de création !
Merci pour cette douceur, ce calme, et cette tendresse que votre musique nous apporte !
Soyez bénis !
Great video!! Under The Heavens is a masterpiece!!
Ok, TH-cam turned me on to your music man! I came home today after listening to this song and sifted through this video until I figured out how to play it! Really love your music man, you are an inspiration to me. One day soon, I hope to make music just as good.
Suas composições são incríveis, você realmente tem um talento único e a capacidade de despertar os melhores sentimentos com seus trabalhos.Obrigada por compartilhar sua arte com o mundo!

How wonderful and funny, also informative to see how it works. Thanks a thousand times, my fav. musician & apiritual brother.🙏❤️🙏
The first song i heard from you was the single Seed from 2014. Since that moment I have grown in love to your beautifully mastered songs.🥰🎹🎻🎶🎧
Lo admiro mucho.
Es genial cómo crea música solo tocando algunas notas y cómo poco a poco le agrega efectos y más notas hasta crear una melodía simplemente majestuosa.
💙
Love when you just playing around with all those warm and beautiful tones! ❤🔥🙏🥰 Sweet harmonies for both the human heart and soul.
No doubt, Creativity is a balance.
