False Harmonics #28: Currawong Project
About This Event
False Harmonics #28: the Currawong Project at Pioneer Works presents Matthias Kriesberg’s score performed by pianists Han Chen, Arseniy Gusev, Asiya Korepanova, Nicolas Namoradze and Élisabeth Pion, with live electronics by Kevin Larke and video by Huei Lin. Kriesberg’s writing and Larke’s spatialized electronics foreground timbral detail and structure, while Lin’s visuals act as an active musical layer and the pianists emphasize clarity and structural focus rather than display.
About Currawong Project
At Pioneer Works, the Currawong Project appears in the False Harmonics series as a hybrid concert work by composer Matthias Kriesberg, with electronics by Kevin Larke and video by Huei Lin. Pianists Han Chen, Arseniy Gusev, and Asiya Korepanova perform a score that treats the piano less as a single instrument than as a trigger for sampled resonance, processed sound, and image. It reads like a study in how “live” performance is negotiated in an electronic age. No specific NYC premiere history has been publicly established for this presentation.
