Sounds from within the body meld with notes\u2014individually or in succession\u2014from the keys. It&#8217;s a game of parallels, with foregrounds and backgrounds that never stop changing: Dry and fat, hard and soft, notorious and nostalgic, analytical and naive. Over the course of the performance, the prepared piano is carefully \u201cunprepared.\u201d More and more, I use stones to play on the strings directly. <\/p>\n<p>Years of experimentation with different techniques to manipulate the piano strings have taught me to create sounds that can change our perception of time. The present and the past depend on one another; thus, they are equally present at the same time.<\/p>\n<p>The amplified body and vibrating strings of the piano create a shimmering spectrum that wraps around the actual piano notes like a dense blanket of sound. At the same time, I retain my structural flexibility and restrain my compositional approach to allow the intensity and breathtaking dynamics of each situation to unfold.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/dark-sounds-in-white-nights-programm\/?lang=en\">Program<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Manon-Liu Winter extended piano 20 minutes of pure piano music\u2014a piano solo\u2014but yet it seems at times as if the instrument had doubled as I seek to apply myself to the piano\u2019s percussive as well as voice-related qualities.
