Augmented Piano Concerto

The »Augmented Piano Concerto« is a piano concerto for the electro-acoustic piano. A loudspeaker specially developed with Martion is used for this purpose. The sound of the grand piano is only enhanced by a horn loudspeaker radiating 360° below the grand piano. The orchestra thus remains unamplified and the electronics adapt as organically as possible to the sound body. Traditional playing merges with electronic articulations, blurring the boundaries between organic and synthetic sounds.

The video shows an excerpt of the concert.
