Irene Bianco plays "Epicentro" (2020) for piano, 10 vibrating motors and two contact microphones

Alessandro Perini
"Epicentro" (2020)
Ten vibration motors are suspended above, and in contact with, the strings of a piano. The ten motors are controlled in time and intensity by a MIDI track, synced with the video-score that the performer is reading. The performer is amplifying the sound of the strings thanks to two AKG C411 attached to her fingernails (panned at the extreme sides). More amplification is provided by two condenser microphones.
