CONCERT OF PIANO+ AND ROBOTIC DEVICES

CONCERT POUR PIANO+ ET MÉCANISMES ROBOTISÉS

The Detail:

    FR: Le piano+ est un système de performance de musique mixte à partir d’un piano acoustique, avec augmentation électronique et préparation, qui explore la relation entre les sons acoustiques et électroniques. Les mécanismes robotisés permettront de jouer, à l’aide d’un programme informatique, les techniques de jeu étendues pour le « Piano Intérieur ». Anoush Moazzeni explore depuis quelques années les possibilités esthétiques émergeant de ce système de performance avec un accent sur les matières compositionnelles, à travers des alternations potentiels des propriétés acoustiques et l’utilisation des nouvelles technologies et des nouveaux médias. En mettant l’accent sur l’interaction homme-machine, elle considère sa pratique non-conventionnelle du piano dédié à la musique-mixte, comme un terrain d’exploration de la nouvelle condition post-humaine. En combinant des aspects scientifiques et artistiques dans un esthétique de musique nouvelle créative, Anoush Moazzeni, interprètera ces Comprovisations à l’aide de ses robots en temps réel, non pas seulement pour ramener l’autonomie dans sa pratique pianistique, mais aussi pour critiquer le platform de la musique classique dans son contexte socioculturel

    EN: This is an interdisciplinary performance system based around a prepared acoustic piano with electronic augmentation to unlock a more acute perception of the sonic potential of the instrument. Toward a better understanding of the world of unsuspected sounds and preparation, also to expand extended piano techniques, she has built various customized designed motor driven mechanical devices which are controlled in real time in order to play different extended acoustic piano techniques such as the “Prepared Piano” and “Inside Piano” techniques. The core of the activity is Composed Improvisations within Interactive Computer System on this performance system system in an experimental contemporary music aesthetic. She considers her unconventional piano performance practice of the mixed-music as a theoretical space of exploration in the new posthuman condition. Her artistic practice is not just about experiencing new scientific materials (Art & Technology as subjects), but also to use technologies and machines to bring a critical and subversive gaze on music canon, as a political human agent. She uses Robots not only to bring autonomy and facility into her artistic performance and to expand the piano’s vocabulary by bringing new timbres into the piano performance, but also to criticize the classical music concert platform in its socio-cultural context. It is also an historical approach into the physical and acoustical elements of preparing a piano and using extended techniques within a piano performance.
