准备钢琴是通过将发现的对象放置在其琴弦,音锤和阻尼器之间来修改原声钢琴的一种做法。 这项技术来自20世纪实验音乐和稠密音乐学校,由约翰·凯奇(John Cage)等作曲家率先采用,将噪音视为音乐。
在本次采样中,当代作曲家/制作人/钢琴家克里斯托弗·马里亚内蒂(Christopher Marianetti)精心准备了他的婴儿大雅马哈(Yamaha),并选择了尺寸合适的金属螺丝,橡胶垫圈和画家胶带。 该录音包记录在纽约州苏活区阳光普照的阁楼上,展现了他的意识沉思,沉思和凹槽,以及每个音符独特特征的单独录音。 合成的多音素与看似简单的旋律配对,引起一种“熟悉的外国人”的感觉。

For this sample collection, contemporary composer/producer/pianist Christopher Marianetti meticulously prepared his baby grand Yamaha with selectively sized metal screws, rubber gaskets, and painter’s tape. Recorded in a sunlit loft in SoHo, NY, this pack features his stream of consciousness musings, meditations, and grooves as well as individual recordings of each note’s unique characteristics. The resultant multiphonics paired with deceptively simple melodies elicit a sense of “the foreign in the familiar.”
Recorded and mixed by Chris Botta.
