My Iron Lung - Radiohead [Piano Cover]

Long time ago this was my favourite Radiohead song. Still good.

That was not good, it was excellent , again .👏👏👏👏

[@aajfranklin]

Thank you! First half of your comment had me nervous.

[@NatePhilipsMusic]

Nicely done. This was one of the earliest songs I fell in love with by them. I think I got hooked on The Bends even more than OK Computer when I was first getting into Radiohead. So, this takes me back.

[@aajfranklin]

Thanks Nate! Similar arc for me with this song. I enjoy your Radiohead covers too!

[@GregHarradineComposer]

Excellent cover, Alex. Really captures this brilliant song on piano.

Awesome job with these Radiohead covers. Seriously among the best on YT. How do you get the soft, dampened effect from your keyboard? Is it post-editing or a function on your keyboard?

[@aajfranklin]

Thanks Justin! I record the MIDI output of my keyboard to a computer and then apply a virtual instrument to it. In this case the virtual instrument you're hearing is Imperfect Samples Fazioli Concert Grand. In the last year or so I have switched to Native Instruments Noire.
Occasionally I edit the audio sparingly e.g. to correct sustain errors. Other than that there are no editing tricks, I just gravitate towards digital piano sounds with a soft, muted tone like you noticed. I also tend to mix the audio quite low to avoid clipping. For a song with some loud segments like this one, that means the quiet bits end up *really* quiet, which contributes to the dampened effect you're hearing even more.

I love it!
