In very early 2020, Yamaha lent me a Disklavier gamer piano– an unique tool that permits you to tape your efficiency for the piano to repeat by itself. I was originally working with a duet for myself and an additional pianist, however when the pandemic hit, the gamer piano became my duet companion. I started composing a collection of duets for myself and the Disklavier, checking out all the various means I can use this tool to combine its ruthless abilities with my very own having fun. The Disklavier enabled me to tape several layers of my having fun so I can develop songs on the piano that would certainly call for even more fingers or higher endurance than I literally have – like chords that had greater than 10 notes in them, or chords that were spaced out further than my hands can extend. In some cases I would certainly tape a pattern and afterwards speed it approximately repeat quicker than I can ever before literally play. My creative imagination blew up whatsoever the opportunities this tool enabled me to develop, and these expeditions finished in my new document, Moves in the Field.
