Performed by Reina Nishioka
Programme Note:
Through writing ‘Shitatari’, I sought a musical expression that incorporated the advantages of both traditional western score notation and the different compositional methods involving recording that have developed since the mid-20th century. ‘Shitatari’ was an attempt to embody this combination through the use of a hybrid instrument - a piano modulated live via a pick-up microphone and whose soundboard is simultaneously being excited by a vibrating speaker. This, combined with the sounds of murmuring water obtained from field recordings in Taketa City, Oita Prefecture, was an attempt to create a kind of chamber music piece for hybrid piano and electronic sounds.

Series Concept:
The piano: with its 52 white and 36 black keys, the piano continues to attract many musicians for its wide range and deep musicality. The "Three Views of the Keyboard" project is centred around the piano as an instrument and looks at the history, present, and future of cutting-edge keyboard music using acoustic, prepared, and electronic methods.
This series of concerts follows on from "Feldman meets freq", which took place in February 2022. Enjoy the music of outstanding composers and performers from the Kyushu University's Faculty of Design and from around the world. We will be very happy if you can see another side of the keyboard in a new light.
