Dialogue between Music and Technology – piano & electronics

This concert for Science in the City 2013 by pianist Tricia Dawn Williams presents a selection of musical works for piano and electronic music. The programme is compiled in collaboration with Giorgio Nottoli from the music conservatory of Santa Cecilia in Rome, Italy. The event will illustrate the different methods and techniques that composers have applied to transform the sound of perhaps the most representative instrument of classical music via the electronic medium.

Giorgio Nottoli will help coordinate and assist this project. He will guide the audience through the recital to understand the scientific implications of each musical work. Furthermore Giorgio Nottoli will support the project as a live-electronics performer as well as a sound engineer.

• Traces of Spirit Whispers (2003) by Steve Antosca – piano and computer processed audio and text
• HALF [WAY] (2011) Domenico De Simone – Live electronics
• AITSI (1974) Giacinto Scelsi – Live electronics
