Who composted this?

Hey,

I'm trying to figure who's the composer of this piece of music

and then 'Piano in big hall'

Anyone an idea?

thx!

Can't be sure but after listening to several of the presets I found they all seemed  likely to be composed by the same person, specifically to demonstrate the various capabilities of the Kawai instrument. They all sound very generic as well.

I think the thread title describes the music very well.

Dear oh dear, is that supposed to help sell Kawai keyboards? It sounds ghastly - doesn't even seem to be in tune, which is a pretty big fail for an electronic instrument.

As for the piece, it sounds like a noodling improvisation by some jobbing lobby pianist. (No disrespect to lobby pianists but they don't generally play in a style that expects to be preserved for posterity.)
Instrumentalists are all wannabe singers. Discuss.
