    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.
