Patrik Pietschmann - BINARY (Piano Version)
Composed by Patrik Pietschmann

I'm back from my “summer break” (I know, the long intervals between my releases might make it look like I've gotten lazy). The truth is that my own compositions take three times as much work and time as my arrangements: from the composition to the production of the orchestral version, the piano version, the design of the album cover and the programming of new visual effects. Since I do everything myself (which I also really enjoy), the whole process sometimes takes longer than I would like. I hope you understand that. Good news: I now have a long list of arrangements that I'd like to realize - so there's a good chance that the intervals between releases will soon be shorter again.

Now to my current composition: If you read the description of my last video, you might be surprised. I had actually planned to lower the level of difficulty of my piano pieces - away from too much complexity and towards more simplicity. But that turned out to be more difficult than expected. I realized that a certain level of complexity is necessary in order to express myself musically in such a way that the result really corresponds to my musical personality.

This tension between complexity and simplicity is also at the heart of my current composition: “Binary”. The title describes a duality that can be found in both technology and music. We live in a world that is increasingly characterized by technology. During the creation of my last composition, “Microchip”, I explored how humans can produce a highly complex component such as a microchip, which is found in almost every technical device, from a material as simple as sand. What I find even more fascinating is the fact that everything that happens on a computer is just a sequence of zeros and ones at the machine level. Highly complex processes are made possible by a simple sequence of on-off commands - a perfect interplay of complexity and simplicity.

We also find this duality in music. Essentially, music consists of frequencies (pitch) and amplitudes (volume) that are combined and ordered in time (timbre, harmony, melody, rhythm, tempo and form). It is fascinating that a certain sequence of tones can touch us emotionally, even though physically speaking it only consists of vibrations. This interplay of simplicity and complexity mirrors the digital binary system, in which the seemingly simple states of 0 and 1 create an entire digital reality - just as a series of notes in music creates a deeply emotional experience.

I love that sometimes this piece is as dark as a villain theme and then suddenly it gets as so hopeful as a hero theme. That's what "Binary" means, right? In my opinion, you are surely one of the best pianists in the entire world, Patrik

I love you Pietschmann, you are a nice composer

[Lord_Crow-II]

Eigentlich bin ich eher in der "klassischen" klavierkunst unterwegs, aber bei dir bekomme ich denn doch immer wieder mal Lust auch modernere Stücke mir anzuhören.

Guten Tag, Patrik Pietschmann. Ich bin eine Junge, und ich komme aus Thailand.
I have been waiting for your next composition! I love to listen to your compositions everyday.
I played your composition A New Horizon on a concert. And I am honored to express my emotions and love for your compositions through music for the audience. I listen to every one of your compositions, and I am learning another of your composition Dystopia, by my self right now.

Your thoughts in the description is very interesting as always.
I have always wondered how just simply two numbers, in patterns can make up our entire digital reality, the virtual world we now immerse ourselves in.
The thought of two numbers, may seem like a small deal to us before, but one day we were able to create an entire digital world with just two numbers, this intrigues me also.

And the idea of music made from unique frequencies combined can touch us emotionally like you said, this also fascinates me
Your compositions each and every one of them, touches and inspires me deep in my heart, you did that without any vocal or lyrics.

Vielen dank, I am inspired to continue to improve myself, learn your compositions, and follow my dreams. Thank you Patrik Pietschmann.

Patrik Pietschmann is fairly popular, but his compositions still deserve way more views. I'm absolutely LOVING this new era of your music!

[rayanpiano]

This one reminded me a lot of one of your older compositions, "Green Rhythms, " specifically this ascending section at 0:36, which I absolutely adore. I honestly can't think of anything not to like about this piece. It is definitely a step up from Microchip in terms of difficulty, but I will give it a try regardless. Looking forward to the future compositions and arrangements you have planned, regardless of the wait time!

When he kept inverting his hands at 3:46, I felt that he was just flexing on us

[Zyeel_.]

I always try to follow the melody, try to guess the sounds that will come, but I always end up amazed and delighted by how ingenious and rewarding your music is, thank you as always for your new compositions.

[TempestsFist]

Wakin' up to another Patrick Pietschmann composition is a special feeling. And holy, what an awesome piece!

[JennaBannister]

It's beautiful in a unique way. Part of that is the sound, but part of it is because I know this must have taken countless hours to compose.

[sibby]

3:46 Crossing hands for literally no reason. I like it.

[NoahRe]

Ich kann dieses Gefühl nicht beschreiben, wenn ich sehe das Patrik wieder eine neue Komposition hochgeladen hat!!
Ich freue mich jedes mal deine Musik zu hören Patrik!! 💚

[MarkBessler]

Wow Patrick, ich bin wieder schwer beeindruckt von deiner neuen Komposition! Endlich bist du wieder da! 🙂🎉Tolles Wechselspiel zwischen dem dramatischen, rhythmischen a-Moll und dem lebendigen, hellen, klangvollen Teil in B-Dur. Meine Lieblingsstelle ist (03:35 - 03:57), als das Hauptthema beim dritten Mal mit den Synkopen und zusätzlich die Oktaven glockenartig in den schweren Zählzeiten erklingen. In der Orchesterfassung geht auch ordentlich die Post ab! Einige Sounds haben mich an Dystopia erinnern lassen. Ich wünsche dir ein sonniges und schönes Wochenende! 😊

[samparkins]

this song game me a feeling of déjà vu. The melody was so genius that you could hear it before it was even played as if I had heard it once before a long time ago.

What I love about music is it really shapes how I see the world, depending on the music styles I can be happier or sadder. Since I started listening and playing your pieces I started having a big boost in my overall happiness. It is insane how much music can do. Thanks for gifting us these masterpieces Patrik ❤

[AidanWrightD]

Woooh a 5 minute piece by Patrik!! Scored yet again

[pianist-of-the-nut.]

I've said it before and I'll say it again... YouTube needs to add a "love" button because "like" isn't enough for something like this. 10/10

[GrimCatPiano]

It gives me fantasies of "Back to the future" type of a movie somehow. A little bit of 80s and 90s vibe sounds perfect <3

[Ehret]

Я в восторге! Только вижу новое видео на этом канале, откладываю все дела и наслаждаюсь!
