Info and tickets
‘Hacking the piano’
Wien Modern, Reaktor, Vienna.
Saturday November 5, 2022 - 19u30
Music by Tim Mariën (A Basement Suite) and Patricia Alessandrini (Im blutstrahl des mondes, Interludes), performed by Tiptoe Company.
In ‘Hacking the piano’ the string instruments of Tiptoe Company are confronted with the piano as a sound object. The performers engage in dialogue with ‘piano hackers’: artists/composers who each have an original relationship to the keyboard instrument. They still use the piano, but have rebuilt the instrument in accordance with their own creative needs (Tim Mariën). At the same time, tools such as sound amplification and ‘live electronica’ are used (Patricia Alessandrini). A ‘virtual instrument’ is created alongside the physical instruments and performers.
