Description
New York-based composer and producer Kelly Moran and her Yamaha Disklavier–-a technologically advanced version of a player piano–-have challenged the piano's traditional, classically-imposed school of thought with a more contemporary, experimental approach. Alongside Moran’s real time playing on each track, listeners are treated to accompaniments by the Disklavier that feature inhumanly fast arpeggios, chords requiring more than ten fingers to play, and other motifs surpassing physical limits on the piano. Her unique strand of experimental piano compositions, which conjure hypnotizing textures and dramatic compositional arcs, have been included on year-end lists across classical, avant-garde, and metal genres.
