英文說明:
“Extended” is a term usually used to describe unorthodox techniques
used when playing a musical instrument in an unconventional way, to
coax new timbres from a traditional instrument.
Since the early 20th century, the piano has been at the forefront of
this trend, with composers such as John Cage preparing the piano
with nuts and bolts, Henry Cowell composing pieces in which the
performer reaches inside the piano and plucks or strums the strings,
and Stephen Scott bowing the strings with an ensemble of performers
to produce an orchestral sound.
The latter inspired us to create the ground-breaking Bowed Piano
instrument in 2008, and now we have revisited the same piano to
build on that concept and further explore extended piano techniques
for an exciting new suite of instruments.
