David Friend - Post - Music & Performance - CD

Post- is a 50-minute set of pieces for solo piano with live electronic processing and is a collaboration between celebrated pianist David Friend and "unimpeachable" (New York Times) composer Jerome Begin. Each movement explores a different way of creating an uncanny valley-esque reality where human, acoustic aspects and electronic, processed aspects interact and overlap in hard to define, disorienting ways, upending the conventions of traditional 'solo piano music' while still retaining the piano at it's core. The music on this album came into it's own after starting as a multidisciplinary collaboration and then unexpectedly shedding it's skin.
