Livewire 14: Sofia Kamayianni and Tim Ward

The Music Box

The third of six events in the Livewire 14: Resounding new music festival features Sofia Kamayianni and Tim Ward, who will present their jointly developed Piano+ system. The Piano+ system seeks to extend the sound world of the piano using technology while at the same time closely integrating into conventional piano performance techniques the control and shaping of the new timbres made possible. In this way the extension of the piano offers radical new possibilities to a performer while not dramatically changing their physical practice on the instrument.

Livewire 14: Resounding presents an installation of Piano Garden by featured composer Annea Lockwood. In this work, a piano is set down among bushes or in a wooded area, where it remains indefinitely, unprotected from the elements. Over time, vines, plants, and trees grow over, inside, and around the piano as it slowly decays.
