May is the latest collaboration between New York composers
Taylor Deupree and Kenneth Kirschner. Recorded on May 9, 2008
at the OFFF Festival in Lisbon, Portugal, the album represents
the first available live recording of Deupree and Kirschner's
concert performances. Continuing in the direction of their
acclaimed post_piano series, Deupree and Kirschner's live work
explores the intersection between piano and digital music
technology.
For this performance, Deupree and Kirschner took an even more
experimental approach than they have in past concerts: sitting
side by side at a single grand piano, they both played piano
and both played laptop, with Kirschner playing the keys of the
piano and Deupree directly manipulating the strings inside,
even as they both shared the duties of electronic processing
and sample manipulation.
The result is a rich and complex mixture of digital and
acoustic timbres that breaks new ground in their ongoing
exploration of the role of the piano in contemporary electronic
music.
