New piece, approximately 9 minutes.
called
Pianos and Regrets.
In two parts: First, a muddy Ivesian collage of my father, in his old age, playing some bits from favorite piano pieces, plus electronic background. His piano is processed through the Alchemy plug-in. This gives the Bach first prelude a steel-drum-like timbre, heard a couple minutes in.
Second, another piano piece I wrote is stretched out and distressed a little, and played against the bell-like overtones of a low C#.
Two kinds of sadness through the buzz and haze.
I like the sound of tuning clashes between 12-tone equal temperament and the natural harmonic series.
It's surprising how consonant a chord like C#0-D#2-F4-D5 sounds, even after many years of thinking about such chords.
