Sonosphere Flux @ Entanglements Festival Joburg

This concert transforms a piano performance into a whole new realm of improvised and experimental music.

Pianists Jill Richards and Michael Watt - on two grand pianos - play on the keyboard but also use chains, glass balls, ebows and mallets to elicit sounds from the pianos that extend the range of the instrument in extraordinary and beautiful ways.

They will be improvising together with sound designers/composers Teo Ringas and Kate de Gruchy. Kate and Matteo will be using live electronics to capture and transform these sounds further, experimenting with time, timbre and spatial placement across multiple speakers. The complex and multi-faceted nature of each sound will be considered, explored and enhanced for the listeners as they journey together with the pianists.
