Description: Zellen Linien (2007) 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. This work was commissioned by
DAAD Berlin / first performance by Sebastian Berweck on June 9, 2007 at the
TU Berlin / duration: 18 min
