HORVITZ, SETH - EIGHT STUDIES FOR AUTOMATIC PIANO (CD)


"Inspired by the work of James Tenney, György Ligeti, Charlemagne Palestine, and Conlon Nancarrow, Seth Horvitz's Eight Studies for Automatic Piano makes use of simple, computer-aided compositional processes to test the limits of human perception and machine precision. It relies on a bare minimum of technical means to explore notions of temporal distortion, iterative process, and elegant complexity. Presented in an immersive concert setting without the presence of a human performer, Eight Studies questions traditional notions of live performance and musical "life". Please download the Listener's Guide containing detailed descriptions and visual scores for each piece." (label info) Edition of 500 copies.
