The Third one from my Piano Tribute Collection dedicated to film composer John Williams.
E.T is, like 99% of the soundtracks of John williams, one of my favorite of course.
His main theme is one of the most well known of the cinema world, with the ones from Jurassic Park, Star Wars, Indiana Jones and Superman. (not bad , isn’t it ? :) ).
I saw E.T in theater during Christmas in 1982. The only thing i remember is that i was, i’m afraid the only kid who didn’t cried in the theater.
never too late, i’m now crying each time i watch the movie ;) .
Enjoy this new Piano Tribute to John Williams and thanks for watching & your comments.


Bonjour, voici ma nouvelle video. La troisième de ma collection d’hommage au piano au compositeur de musique de film John Williams.
E.T est, comme 99% des musiques composées par John Williams, evidement, une de mes favorites. Le thème musical principal du film est l’un des plus connu qu’il ait composé, avec celui de La Guerre des étoiles, Jurassic park, Indiana Jones et Superman (pas mal hein ? :) ).
J’ai vu E.T au cinéma pendant la période de noël en 1982. La seule chose dont je me souviens et que j’étais, je pense, le seul gamin qui n’ait pas pleuré pendant la projection du film. Mieux vaut tard que jamais comme on dit, et désormais je pleure à chaque visionnage ;) .
Merci de votre écoute & de vos commentaires et passez un bon moment avec ce nouvel hommage au piano sur la musique de John Williams.

The second one from my Piano Tribute Collection dedicated to the film composer John Williams.
Hook is one of my favorite Soundtrack composed by John Williams. Amazing Themes, Amazing underscore, Amazing everything. But in addition to the usual “amazing” work John WIlliams always provides, he also composed a Jazz Piece which is stylistically very close to another film composer and jazz pianist, Dave Grusin.
I remind everybody who takes the time to read this small text, that, at the beginning of his career, John williams was a Jazz and Session Pianist.
This is the piece that i recorded, called “Banning Back Home”. I edited the clips from the movie in order to tell a story about a bad releationship between a son and his father.
Enjoy and thanks in advance for your comments.


Bonjour, voici ma nouvelle video. La seconde de ma collection d’hommage au piano au compositeur de musique de film John Williams.
Hook est une de mes musiques préferée composé par John Williams. Superbes Thèmes, Superbe underscore, bref, Tout superbe :) . Mais en plus de tout ça, John Williams a aussi écrit pour le film un morceau de Jazz dans le style d’un autre grand compositeur pour le cinéma et également grand pianiste de Jazz, Dave Grusin.
Je précise que John Williams, pour ceux qui m’ont lu jusqu’ici, était au départ un pianiste de Jazz et de Studio.
Voici donc le morceau que j’ai enregistré, “Banning Back Home”. Le montage video réalisé sur le film a été fait de maniere à en changer un peu l’histoire, pour montrer une relation conflictuelle entre un fils et son père.
Bon Visionnage et merci de vos commentaires.

The first one of a very long collection, dedicated to the film composer John Williams.
The first movie composed by john williams that I saw in a cinema theater was The Empire Strikes back in 1980. I was 6 years old.

A tribute to two big man, one tall, and one small :) . Enjoy, and thanks for your comments.

He inspired me and had a strong influence on me before his Death, when he Died, and after his Death.


This tribute features the music of John Williams , “Can you read my mind” better known as the “Love Theme” from Superman, and John Barry, the main Theme from the movie “Somewhere in time”.


I did a first tribute to Mr Reeve that you maybe saw during the 2011 year. I’m happy to replace this old tribute with this new one because the original one had been done under some very weird circounstances and very quickly, the night of the 31th december 2010 to 1st january 2011. I was living a nightmare, and the need to have my feeling and emotions out had to be done in music, and doing it for Mr Reeve memory was the best thing to do.
I’m happy that the pain caused by the first musical/video tribute to Mr Reeve has now ended.


I ‘d never spent so much time on video editing and trying to find ideas of how to make a nice tribute with a very strong life message using texts, quotes from speechs, pictures from real life and movies, Voice, and trying to build the story of the Life of someone with all of these.
It was very fun to do and i hope some of you will like it.

Didier Martini, 5th April 2012.

Jeff Porcaro, one of the best drummers of all time passed away in 1992. This is my tribute to him and his brother, Michael Porcaro who is suffering from ALS (Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) since many years.
Jeff and Michael were the rhythm section (Drums & Bass) of the Rock Band Toto.

I’ve been suffering for 16 years from an hearing disorder which makes it impossible for me to listen to music.
This song was recorded without hearing what i was playing.

Last year, the video was a tribute to Christopher “Superman” Reeve, one of the great inspiration of my life.
This Year, i would like to share with you a tribute to Judy Garland, with her Song “Over The Rainbow”, one my favorite song of all time.
As a fan of American Musicals with George Gershwim and Alan Menken as my favorite Composers, Judy was one of my favorite singer/actress and dancer, next to Ginger Rogers and Amy Adams, Belle and Ariel.

Merry Christmas to the ones who’ll take the time to watch this Tribute.
