Extended techniques for piano...
The Colorado College Bowed Piano Ensemble is one of the coolest new music groups around. My teacher at Texas, Dan Welcher, told me about them when I was a doctoral student. I love their recordings, and since some of you have been talking about extended techniques for piano, I thought I'd share this. Composer and Colorado College professor Stephen Scott created the ensemble. Make sure you check out the video of his work-- really stunning.

I showed a video or two of this ensemble to Prof. Long last year, and while she loved it ... we are not allowed to try any of that on the pianos here. Just thought I should warn everyone before you get any crazy/fun ideas! I would love to try something like this but... we'd have to get a grand piano donated or something! (There IS a broken one in the music library ..... )
ReplyDeleteWell, that's no fun at all!
