Andreas Tentschert – Prepared Piano FX

In Andreas Tentschert’s solo program, John Cage meets Nils Frahm and Herbie Hancock. The immersive sonic landscapes he creates live are rooted in Cage’s concept of the prepared piano, yet are expanded through effects processing and live sampling. The result is a sound world that reaches far beyond the instrument’s familiar palette while always remaining grounded in the piano’s natural acoustic character.
