Pierre BERTHET – “Un cadre de piano prolongé”

“Hanging above the audience, metal cans are linked to some strings of a piano frame by long steel wires (3 to 5 m.). Strings are excited by percussion, friction, magnetic fields and electric motors.” (extract from inner notes) First solo record, before the CD released by Sub Rosa, from this musician/instrument builder from Liege, Belgium (after a collaboration CD of strange songs with Frederic le Junter and one long track on a Sub Rosa compilation), also collaborator of Arnold Dreyblatt for performances. A first part in a Dreyblatt style, a center part of layered and droning sounds (but without any effects) and a more strong finale.
