«The Persistence of Memory»
Latest works (2016-2020) for prepared piano with (partly strong) Eastern European and Oriental roots.
For preparation I use whiskey glasses, clothespins, silveware, drinking straws, glasses, cymbals, a wind chime, a bicycle tube, a superball, a Baoding balls, cassette tape, beer bottles etc... Also I play on a toy piano.
After the concert I offer a workshop on the contemporary piano techniques and notation. I find that most piano students still don't have much experience with piano preparation. I myself have to discover something new every time and to constantly stay in touch with composers.
