Playing Evanescence Bring Me To Life on Train Station Piano
Cole Lam says: “This one is one of my mum’s favourite songs – Evanescence Bring Me To Life played on the Elton John Yamaha public piano at St Pancras [train station]. It’s got a really cool music video where there (sic) singer Amy Less is sleeping and you can see that she is dreaming. Then she dreams like she’s falling! It feels strange and then suddenly you might kick out your leg or something like that. Do you get that too? It’s weird, but also cool at the same time!”

Zero-G Elements reviewed
Music Radar reviews the Zero-G Elements Modern Scoring Synth, claiming that it breathes new life into contemporary scoring, earning a rightful place on the periodic table of music production.
Elements calls itself a Modern Scoring Synth, built on a Zero-G concept which will be reminiscent to anyone who has used previous Zero-G Kontakt instruments. It’s a three-layer format, with substantial partial control, derived exclusively from sampled content. Even the synth-based sounds are sample-based, which is the Kontakt norm, but the big difference here is the volume of supplied content.
A full 23GB of all-new samples ship with Elements, some of which may feel familiar from previous Zero-G content. There is a return of vocal samples, provided by long-time associate Clara Solace, with diversification looming large through drum loops, ethnic percussion, native American flutes, acoustic and electric guitars, and even cello.
