    paper Edd Sheeran Piano Cover - Cinematic Wedding Music Video

    A timeless love song, reimagined on solo piano.
    This is my cinematic piano cover of Ed Sheeran - Thinking Out Loud, created as a soundtrack for weddings, proposals, and unforgettable love stories.
    Ed Sheeran’s original touched millions of hearts, and I wanted to capture that same emotion in a pure, cinematic piano style - perfect for walking down the aisle, first dances, or simply celebrating love.
    If you’re looking for romantic wedding piano music, this piece is made for you.

    paper Clarity - Cinematic Orchestral Soundtrack

    “Clarity” is a powerful original cinematic piano soundtrack by Kris Korat. This emotional composition blends intimate solo piano with rich orchestral textures, guiding the listener through a journey from inner turmoil to spiritual peace - from the noise of modern life into the stillness of nature.

    This exclusive version was arranged in collaboration with choreographer and dancer Maša Kagao Knez for the contemporary dance performance “S samimi samotami obdana samota.”

    Solo violin: Matjaž Antončič
    Solo cello: Gorazd Strlič
    Voice: Irena Yebuah Tiran
    Composed, produced & arranged by: Kris Korat

    Inspired by composers such as Ludovico Einaudi, Hans Zimmer, and Yann Tiersen, this piece is ideal for film, meditation, dance, or deep emotional reflection.
