#2057: Program #2057

New Sounds | May 24, 2010
With any conventional piano, a hammer drops on string, and sound is produced. Well, perhaps not always, for on this edition of New Sounds, there are some unusual approaches to noisemaking at the piano, including ebow, electronic processing, and overdubs, although not all at once. Hear the eerie and theremin-like, yet somehow evil-sounding ebow (a little magnet which produces a sustain) on piano strings with Maggi Payne’s work “Holding Patterns,” performed live in the WNYC studio by pianist Sarah Cahill. Also listen to Charles K. Noyes’ processed piano music; and the “string” piano, or the insides of the piano, as Margaret Leng-Tan plays John Cage’s “In the Name of the Holocaust.”
