False Harmonics #28: Currawong Project with composer Matthias Kriesberg, electronics by Kevin Larke, featuring pianists Han Chen, Arseniy Gusev, Asiya Korepanova, Nicolas Namoradze and Élisabeth Pion & video art by Huei Lin.
About This Event
False Harmonics #28 presents the Currawong Project, a work by composer Matthias Kriesberg with electronics by Kevin Larke and video art by Huei Lin, performed by pianists Han Chen, Arseniy Gusev, Asiya Korepanova, Nicolas Namoradze and Élisabeth Pion at Pioneer Works. The lineup pairs Korepanova — a concert pianist, composer, transcriber, visual artist and poet — with Namoradze, a pianist-composer and winner of the 2018 Honens International Piano Competition, placing multiple pianistic voices alongside electronics and projection.
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.
