Dimitri Georgaras: Piano and Programming
Two microphones are placed in front of two speakers to generate controlled feedback tones, accompany the live piano. The striking of a piano key changes the frequency response of a digital filter in the microphone’s feedback path. The result is the feedback tones locking on to the changing frequencies of the piano, extending harmonics and partials that are otherwise unheard.
All piano processing is done on custome software designed in MaxMSP by Dimitri.

Through focused explorations of chaotic electronic feedback systems, a collection of recordings were made from sounds that resemble water in various states: bubbling, rushing, popping, and slushing. In performance, the prerecorded fragments are used to manipulate found videos of water scapes. The addition of field recordings taken by the Lake Ontario waterside are blended with the feedback material to contrast the purely electronic sounds with those of nature.

Ambient composition using a modified Korg MS-20 to record three improvised tape-delay performances which were blended together, each taking its space in the sonic density of the piece.
