Das Bleierne Klavier

for piano and live-electronics
Year: 1999
Duration: 12:00 min
Studio: Klang Projekte Weimar

The real-time processing of the piano sounds in the electroacoustic domain is entirely influenced by the pianist's performance. During the playing, the musical gestures are analyzed and trigger pre-defined reactions in the electroacoustic part accordingly. In this way, a very direct communication is established between the player and his "companion." The player's energy is immediately reflected in the processing and in the spatial distribution of sound.
