“Haydnseek” a remix of original piano music by Franz Joseph Haydn |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 Bruce Brubaker |
Bruce Brubaker, piano Nico Muhly, computer and sampling “It is about 65 minutes of music which includes two complete piano sonatas by Haydn played by me. It also includes electronic music material created by the young American composer Nico Muhly. The electronic elements provide context and re-interpret the music by Haydn. There are sections where the materials overlap and other parts where the two things are heard separately. As a live event, Muhly would use a computer and sampling and function more or less as a DJ – while I performed the Haydn on the piano.” Bruce Brubaker Réservation: Tel : (+352) 22 58 21 |
