Zellen Linien
for piano and live-electronics
studio : Klang Projekte Weimar / 2007 /
commissioned by DAAD Berlin / first performance by Sebastian Berweck on June 9, 2007 at the TU Berlin / duration: 20 min
Zellen Linien uses all my research on prepared piano and live-electronics I undertook over the past years. I wanted to create an "electronically prepared" piano. There is no physical preparation on the instrument at all. Since 1999 I experimented with the real-time analysis of the instrumental gesture of the pianist and with possibilities to control the live-electronics through the gesture of the player. A first result was the composition "Das Bleierne Klavier". Since then many performances of that piece enriched my experience and led finally to this new work.
