|   |  Initiated by Leo Tardin, Grand Pianoramax is an all-live           |   |
|   |  keyboards/drums duo with occasional guests MCs/vocalists blending  |   |
|   |  Minimoog-synth bass, syncopated keys, organic drumming and         |   |
|   |  freestyle spoken words improv/slam.                                |   |
|   |                                                                     |   |
|   |  Taking advantage of this minimal and flexible set-up, Leo Tardin   |   |
|   |  took up the challenge of developing hybrid stylistic directions    |   |
|   |  in their most essential renditions by joining forces with          |   |
|   |  first-class artists such as drummers Deantoni Parks (Kudu), Adam   |   |
|   |  Deitch, live drum'n'bass pioneer Jojo Mayer and poets/MCs Mike     |   |
|   |  Ladd, Spleen, Celena Glenn (Coco Rosie, Bunny Rabbit), Invincible  |   |
|   |  (PPP).                                                             |   |
|   |                                                                     |   |
|   |  The debut Grand Pianoramax album, recorded in New York with Jojo   |   |
|   |  Mayer and Thelonious Monk institute scholar Ferenc Nemeth was      |   |
|   |  released worldwide in 2005 by ObliqSound and generated over 43000  |   |
|   |  downloads on iTunes USA. The "Starlite" EP was also released the   |   |
|   |  same year with remixes from Nuspirit Helsinki and Domu             |   |
|   |  complementing the original version.                                |   |
|   |                                                                     |   |
