Performed by computer and specifically recorded for OLPC by Dr. Mikhail Krishtal, Director of Music Research and Production, and his team at Zenph Studios. They are included in the OLPC sound sample library. How is it being done: "The Disklavier Pro has an internal electronically-controlled mechanism that allows it to play sounds with very precise specifications. It has its own file format known as XP MIDI, an extension of standard midi. I [Mikhail Krishtal] prepare the files for it to play -- in this case, representing notes of different registers, durations, and dynamic levels." http://csounds.com/olpc/pianoSamplesMikhail/pianoMikhail.html Produced by Zenph Studios in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. The main studio location is in Raleigh, North Carolina. http://zenph.com/ Samples from the OLPC sound sample library: This huge collection of new and original samples have been donated to Dr. Richard Boulanger @ cSounds.com specifically to support the OLPC developers, students, XO users, and computer and electronic musicians everywhere.
