Performed by Kimihiro Yasaka
Programme Note:
An exploration of acoustics achieved through the layering of simple elements. The pianist plays an excerpt from Prokofiev’s ‘Visions Fugitives’, repeating it over and over very slowly. Overlaying this - building up the sound - the electronics part is composed entirely of real-time effects, but this time, in a new departure for me, it has been recorded in advance as fixed media. The performance is therefore for piano and fixed media. (Sahara, tr. Jamieson)

2022 Concert Series
Concert 1: The Japanese / Canadian Contemporary Keyboard ―Vox Fibrae―

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.
