Seth Horvitz
Eight Studies For Automatic Piano
Album US 2011 on Line label
Classical (Contemporary)
Edition of 500. From the disc's liner notes: Inspired by the works of James Tenney, György Ligeti, Charlemagne Palestine, and Conlon Nancarrow, "Eight Studies for Automatic Piano" makes use of simple, computer-aided compositional processes to test the limits of human perception and machine precision. It relies on a bare minimum of technical means to explore notions of temporal distortion, iterative process, and elegant complexity. Presented in an immersive concert setting without the presence of a human performer, "Eight Studies" questions traditional notions of live performance and musical "life." A "Listener's Guide" containing detailed descriptions and visual scores for each piece can be downloaded from label's website. All works performed by the Yamaha Disklavier C7 Mark III. Recorded at Littlefield Concert Hall, Mills College, April 2010.
