T1007637238Imagine an acoustic piano that is no longer restricted to 'western tuning'. A 'multi-cultural' piano with an immense diversity of bespoke tuning layouts and indigenous scales from around the world (e.g. from Middle Eastern cultures). A piano that enables musicians to experiment by altering each note separately by precise microtonal intervals, that even allows you to alter the tuning whilst playing - or simply to remain in the standard 'Western' tuning should you wish. Invented by Geoff Smith, The Fluid Piano is all these things and this special event features world premieres of compositions for the piano composed and performed by Smith (who will also be using the Fluid Dulcimer) and composers/pianists Matthew Bourne, Pam Chowhan, Nikki Yeoh plus a special guest performance by Iranian pianist Ramin Zoufonoun.Performer Geoff Smith (composer / performer / inventor). Performer Matthew Bourne (pianist / composer). Performer Pam Chowhan (pianist / composer). Performer Nikki Yeoh (pianist / composer). Performer Ramin Zoufonoun (piano). | |
