Individual piano accompaniment from Tonstudio Leipzig
Your song gets its own piano accompaniment
There are songs that need no drums and no bass. They need a piano that listens. One that steps back in the right places and carries in others. One that knows the melody above it.
That is exactly what I do for you: I take your song and play a piano accompaniment that belongs to it.
You send me your song, I play the piano to it
You need no finished production. It is enough if I can hear what you have in mind:
- a vocal track from your recording
- a demo you recorded yourself
- a phone recording of you singing
- vocals with an instrumental underneath
- chords or a lead sheet
- or just the idea of how the song should sound
I listen to it, work out the harmonies and develop an accompaniment from them. If I cannot hear something for certain, I ask rather than guess.
No standard accompaniment
There are providers who lay a ready made piano playback under every song. And there are programs that generate an accompaniment automatically from chord symbols. Both sound exactly like that.
I work differently. I sit at the piano and play your song. That means:
- The accompaniment follows your melodic line, not a template.
- Where your voice needs room, the piano gets quieter.
- Where the song builds, the accompaniment builds with it.
- Timing and touch are played, not quantised.
- The harmonies fit your genre, not a preset.
You can hear that. Above all in the places where an automated system would simply carry on.
Which songs is the piano accompaniment suitable for?
- Own songs – when you write yourself and the piano is missing
- Singer-songwriter productions – reduced, with room for the voice
- Cover songs – your version of a well known song
- Ballads – the classic for piano and voice
- Wedding songs – for the entrance, the first dance or as a surprise
- Personal gifts – a song for someone you care about
- Demo recordings – when you want to present your song
- Live preparation – an accompaniment you can sing to
- Social Media, YouTube, Spotify – as a basis for your release
How your piano accompaniment comes about
- Send your song. You upload your file or send me a link.
- Choose a style. Calm, modern, classically shaped, powerful – or you give me a free hand.
- Tell me your wishes. Tempo, key, song structure, a reference song if you have one.
- I develop the arrangement. I listen through the song, find the harmonies and set the structure.
- I play the piano. Several takes, until the accompaniment sits.
- You receive your files. WAV and MP3, plus one round of corrections.
Which version suits you?
Basic – from €179
For songs with a clear, consistent structure. A continuous accompaniment, cleanly played, fitting the mood. Up to about four minutes of song length.
Premium – from €279
For songs that develop. Intro, verses, chorus, bridge and outro each get their own treatment, plus musical transitions between the parts. The accompaniment responds more closely to your vocals.
Complete – from €399
For songs where the piano takes the lead. A complete arrangement with a dramatic arc, variations between the song parts and richer harmonic writing. With a second version on request.
What I need from you
The most important thing is something audible. Everything else helps but is not a condition:
- your recording – vocals alone or with an instrumental, in any quality
- chords or a lead sheet, if available
- tempo and key, if you know them
- a reference song whose piano sound you like
- a short note about what the song is about
If you have none of that apart from a phone recording: that is enough.
What you get back
- the piano accompaniment as Stereo WAV in studio quality
- additionally as MP3 for listening and sharing
- cut to fit your song, in your tempo and your key
- one round of corrections for adjustments
- further versions or a simple mix with your vocals on request
Played by hand instead of generated automatically
I am a pianist, a producer and I run my own recording studio in Leipzig. When you order here, no algorithm works on your song, I do.
That also means: I listen to what you sent before I start. If I think something else suits your song better than what you had in mind, I say so. And if your idea is better than mine, I play yours.
Do your vocals still need work?
If your vocal recording is not quite there yet – timing, pitch, breaths – I can treat it beforehand. That is a separate service and can be combined with the piano accompaniment.
Would you like the complete song produced?
The piano accompaniment is one building block. If a finished song is meant to stand at the end, this fits Mixing and mastering with it. And if you do not have a good vocal recording yet, you record it with me at the Recording studio in Leipzig on.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does my song have to be finished already?
No. It is enough to send me something audible. Many songs that arrive here are demos or rough recordings.
Can I send only a phone recording?
Yes. For the accompaniment I need to hear what you sing and how the song runs – a phone recording is enough for that. Only if your vocals are meant to be part of the release later do you need a proper recording.
Can you work out the chords yourself?
Yes, that is part of the work. If you know them it goes faster – it is not required.
Can I use a cover song?
Yes. Please remember that for a later release of someone else's song you have to clear the rights. For private use or as a gift this is not an issue.
Can I send a reference song?
Gladly. It helps me understand which direction you have in mind. I do not build a copy of another production – the reference is an orientation, not a blueprint.
Can you play a particular mood?
Yes. You can choose between several directions: calm, modern reduced, classically shaped, cinematic, powerful. Or you describe in your own words what you have in mind.
Can you match my tempo?
Yes. If you know the tempo, tell me. If not, I take it from your recording.
What happens if I do not know the key?
Then I determine it from your recording. If your vocal range does not quite fit, I can also put the accompaniment in a different key – just let me know.
Can you also play piano for rap or modern music?
Yes. Piano works under rap, in modern pop productions or as the only instrument over a beat.
Can I add vocals later?
Yes. You get the piano track as a separate file and can use it in any program.
Do I get a WAV file?
Yes, always. Stereo WAV in studio quality, plus an MP3.
Can I use the piano track for mixing later?
Yes, that is what it is for. It comes clean and unprocessed enough to sit in a mix.
How long does the processing take?
7 to 10 working days from the moment everything is here. If it needs to be faster, there is an express option.
Can I ask for changes?
Yes, one round of corrections is included. Adjustments to dynamics, playing style or individual passages are part of it. A completely different musical direction is not a correction but a new arrangement – I discuss that with you.
Can I also get several versions?
Yes. A second version – more reduced or more expressive, for example – can be booked in addition.
