about

Dialogue features electronics by Campbell Drummond and myself on prepared piano. The techniques I used in preparing the piano are inspired by John Cage's works in the 1940s. I prepared the piano using materials such as nails and rubbers placed at different nodes of the strings to create timbres and harmonics that would lock with the electronic sounds created by Campbell. The soundscape Campbell and I create involve practices across very different musical styles. Bringing them together was a way of exploring communication and understanding between two different worlds, and for us resonated strongly with concepts explored in 'Beyond the Alogrithm'.

The collaborative track we created for Clan Analogue was born when Campbell was travelling in Japan a few years back.

A recording was made of a children’s Taiko drumming group which was then fed into Abelton Live, the beats were covered to midi data and formed the basis of the rhythm and bass line for this track.

After being connected with Kitty Xiao through the “Coordinate” project Campbell sent a copy of the unfinished track to Kitty who decided to add a layer of prepared piano to enhance and complete the composition into the work now known as “Dialogue”.
