Meet the Composer

Annie Gosfield

This three-movement solo work for piano and electronics will be tailored to Lisa Moore's ferocious technique and lyrical expression. She will perform on the acoustic piano and the sampler at the same time, so the electronic sounds can enhance, contrast, and blend with the sounds of the acoustic piano. Both the acoustic and electronically altered piano will be played live, which will allow Ms. Moore to interpret and perform the work pianistically, without being tied to pre-recorded electronics. The premiere will be during the Bang on a Can Marathon in June 2008 with subsequent performances in New Haven, CT, Syracuse, NY, Valencia, CA, as well as in Australia and Ireland.
