LOPEZ FRANCISCO / VAN HOUDT REINIER - CD UNTITLED 400

Popis - UNTITLED 400:
'Untitled #400' is a project presented as a world premiere by Francisco López and Reinier van Houdt at the opening of the 31st edition of AngelicA, on 15th May 2021. The two musicians already worked together on 'Untitled #275', a performance for mechanically prepared piano, quadraphonics and electronics which received a special mention at the 2011 edition of the Ars Electronica festival in Linz. The concept behind untitled #400, developed during six years, effectively introduced a new instrument: a "stringless piano", in which a Disklavier piano in full automatic performance could be seen playing, but without hearing the notes associated to the keys, since the hammers were not touching the strings.
