Edison Noside

Magda Mayas and Nicolas Collins premier new solo and ensemble pieces for piano, !trumpet and fingertip feedback. The pieces showcase new methods for »inside piano« playing techniques with a focus on obscured language ranging from the »talkie tape« – essentially a record inscribed on a narrow strip of plastic, invented by Thomas Edison in 1918 for the world’s first talking doll, updated by engineer Sukandar Kartadinata – to tiny string resonators through which any sound can resonate the strings electromagnetically.

In the spirit of these new pieces, the program will also include a realization of David Behrman’s 1965 composition for feedback-resonated piano, »Wave Train«.
