For 9 e-bows and Steinway 1892 Model A grand piano. Recorded 2004.
"An Open Window..." was recorded live in concert May 16, 2004. In this piece, I play the piano with the e-bows only, silently depressing and releasing the keys to allow the notes sustained by the e-bows to sound or die.
The doors were open in the performance space, so you hear the spring birds outside. I extend my special thanks to my audience for listening so quietly.
A combination of looping, spacial effects, and modular synthesis turns modern classical sounds into submerged, haunting ambient. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 20, 2024
