Original piano music for special occasions

Their story, written in music

I'm Tyler, a composer who writes original piano music about the people you love, composed from the stories you tell me. Give it as a gift to someone special, or play it at your event.

I take only 3 commissions per month. Book as early as you can.

About me

Riffloom Musical Experiences

Music written just for you

My name is Tyler, and I'm the composer behind Riffloom Musical Experiences. I write solo piano music for weddings, anniversaries, memorials, and other occasions worth setting to music. I'm based in Toronto, Canada, but I write music for people everywhere.

I'm a professional pianist with years of experience writing music for a variety of settings. That experience is what lets me write music that captures the exact feeling your occasion is meant to evoke, and it means I can write in whatever style you have in mind.

Your piece begins with you. Tell me the names, the occasion, and the story behind them: how you met; the moments you shared; what this person, or this day, means to you. You can also tell me the mood you want the music to have, whether that's joyful, tender, or reflective. From there, I write an original piano piece inspired by your story.

Every piece is composed from your story. I never arrange a song that already exists, and I never use AI or pre-written templates. It's written once, for you, and never reused anywhere else.

Featured works

Hear my work

Every piece here began as somebody's story. Open each to see their story, the recording, the score, and the letter that came with it. These are gift examples — what I call Sonatinas — but I also write longer forms of music for events.

These are sample commissions with fictional clients just to show what a finished gift looks like. The music is real, and I composed every note of it by hand.

Compose your piece

How it works

How a story becomes a song

You describe them in words. I describe them in music.

  1. 01

    Tell me the story

    Share who the piece is for, the occasion, and the details you want me to know. You can choose the style as well: classical, contemporary, pop, or the feel of a song that already means something to you. If you're not sure, you can leave it to me to decide on the style that best fits your occasion.

  2. 02

    I write your piece

    I shape your details into an original piano composition, using the letters of the name or names as the basis for the melody that sets the emotional tone of the piece.

  3. 03

    You hear it first

    I send you a draft of the piece to hear before anyone else does. From there, it's your call: if something isn't right, tell me what to change and I'll revise it; or change your mind and get every dollar back.

  4. 04

    It arrives

    Your piece arrives on a private page: your personal note to the recipient, the recording, the sheet music, and a letter from me explaining how your story shaped it. Everything on the page is downloadable, so it's yours to give as a gift or play at your event.

An excerpt from one of my sample pieces

How Noah and Amro’s names became “My Love For You Never Ends”

This is step 2 in practice: I start by mapping the letters of a name to notes, then shape those notes into a melody. Here's an excerpt from an actual piece I wrote.

Occasions

What people commission

Different occasions need different music. These are the ones I write for the most.

Weddings

Written for the processional, walk down the aisle, the ceremony, recessional, and the first dance. The letters of the couple’s names shape the melody.

Anniversaries

A piece for a partner to mark a milestone year. Built from the names involved and the story behind them.

Proposals

Music to play as you ask the big question, written for the moment itself.

Memorials

A memorial piece for a service, slideshow, or private remembrance, written from the details you share about the person. Memorials always start with a consultation call, so we can talk it through together before anything is written.

Christmas

A gift to open on Christmas morning: a piece for a partner, friend, or child, written from the memories you've made together.

Other occasions

Retirements, vow renewals, and more. Any occasion with a story behind it is worth setting to music.

Packages

Two ways to tell your story

Every package contains an original piano piece, written by me from your story. Choose the Sonatina for a song to give as a gift. Choose the Sonata for a recording to play at your event or ceremony, written to fit each moment of it.

All prices are in Canadian dollars. I compose for people anywhere in the world; your card issuer converts the amount when you pay and may charge a foreign transaction fee.

Book a call

1 Final price depends on how long your piece runs, how many distinct sections your event needs, what style you're looking for, and how soon you need it.

Is your occasion less than 3 weeks away? A Sonatina takes 2–3 weeks to write, so it may not be ready on your occasion date. If so, add a free countdown page at checkout. It's a private page for the recipient that counts down to the day their piece is ready, so they have something to open on your occasion before the music is finished. I'll email you its link within 24 hours of your order. If you need the piece sooner, choose rush delivery instead.

FAQ

Questions people ask

The most common questions before booking. If yours isn’t here, .

Can I hear the piece before it’s finished?

You'll always hear a draft partway through the composition window, so you can ask for revisions before the piece is finished. Sonatina customers are entitled to 1 round of revisions and Sonata customers are entitled to 2 rounds of revisions.

What do I actually receive?

You receive the recording, the sheet music, and a letter from me explaining how your story shaped the piece. They arrive together on a private reveal page. As soon as your piece is complete, I email you the link to that page. Everything on the page is downloadable, so the recording is yours to keep and play wherever and whenever you'd like.

How long does my reveal page stay online?

The reveal page stays online for 6 months. However, you'll be able to download the page so you can enjoy it forever.

Can I have lyrics, or a sung version of my piece?

I write solo piano music, so your piece won't have words. I work this way because a piece without lyrics leaves room for whatever else is around it, and it can be played at any occasion for years afterward rather than belonging to one day.

Should I choose the Sonatina or the Sonata?

Choose the Sonatina if the piece is a gift: something to give someone, for them to open, listen to and keep. You order it online in a few minutes. Choose the Sonata if you'll play the music at your event or ceremony: it starts with a complimentary consultation call, so we can plan it together. Still not sure? and I'll help you choose.

How long will it take?

For Sonatinas, unless you opt in to rush delivery, I'll take 2–3 weeks to complete it. For Sonatas, delivery time varies depending on your occasion — we'll set a due date for your piece together during your consultation call.

Is this AI generated?

No. I compose every piece by hand myself, built from your story rather than generated or assembled from a template.

Who owns my composition when it's finished?

Your purchase comes with a personal usage license. You're free to play it, share it, and use it personally however you like: at other events, on social media, or with a photographer or videographer capturing your day. If you're interested in commercial use, such as licensing and selling the piece, .

Will my piece be shared with anyone else?

By default, I may feature your piece in my professional portfolio and on this website for marketing purposes. If you'd rather keep yours private, just let me know in the online form and I'll leave it out.

What if I don't have all the details yet?

That's normal. Fill out the form to the best of your ability and I'll reach out to you if I need any more details.

Do I pay anything when I submit the Sonata form?

No. The form only sets up a consultation call with me. You don't pay anything until you're happy with that call and ready to go ahead.

Ready to hear your song?

Tell me who the piece is for, and the story behind it. If you choose Sonatina, I begin as soon as the form is in. If you choose Sonata, I'll be in touch about a consultation call within two business days.
