Klaviere

Comissioned by Jan Gerdes
Premiered in January, 20th 2015 - Unerhoerte musik (Berlin)
If there is one thing technology makes possible, it is to transport the composer's imagination to unknown sound worlds. Fifty years ago Stockhausen had already anticipated the potential of live interaction: a visionary anticipation that would become apparent years later in the emergence of the mixed repertory for solo instrument and electronics.
In the case of Klaviere, I have aimed to explore the classical sound splitting by means of a re-reading of the instrument, I construct a universe in which the ambiguity between the real and the unreal imposes itself. From the acoustic piano four more pianos emerge which dialogue with the first, creating a contrapuntal web over which the pianist navigates, travelling between the rigorousness of the score and the freedom of interaction itself.
