New #review today: "John Cage pioneered #PreparedPiano, and a number of composers and improvisers have been known to reach inside the piano to sound the strings with the hands and other objects. #DenmanMaroney is a pianist and composer who calls his method “#hyperpiano,” by which he means a combination of conventional playing on the keys along with various inside-the-piano techniques, often at the same time." #ExposeOnline #ExperimentalMusic #jazz http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/denman-maroney-the-air-conditioned-nightmare-covid-variations-2.html
