Prepared Piano

Prepared piano is a distinctive musical genre involving the alteration of a piano's sound by placing objects like rubber, metal, or fabric on its strings. This technique, pioneered by John Cage, broadens the piano's sonic palette, producing percussive, ethereal, or otherworldly tones. Artists like Andy Akiho and Kelly Moran employ this method to explore new textures and tonal possibilities, infusing classical composition with avant-garde innovation. Often noted for its experimental nature, prepared piano bridges classical music with contemporary artistry, offering listeners a unique auditory experience that challenges conventional piano sounds.
