The Sound of Prepared Piano

This playlist explores the unique and unconventional world of prepared piano, where the instrument is altered with objects placed on or between its strings to create unexpected timbres and textures. Featuring works by pioneers like John Cage alongside contemporary composers such as Kelly Moran, Andy Akiho, and Benoît Delbecq, the selections range from percussive and rhythmic to atmospheric and meditative. Tracks like "Butterfly Phase" and "Jagged Jewel" highlight the shimmering and resonant qualities of the prepared piano, while pieces such as "Sonata V" and "Music for Marcel Duchamp" showcase its historical significance. With a mix of avant-garde, jazz, and experimental classical influences, this playlist presents a captivating journey through the possibilities of this distinctive instrument.
