Piano T - for piano and tape (11' 22")
Piano T was composed with sounds recorded from inside the Piano. It is based on rhythm and extreme tension due to the nature of the metallic slaps and aggressive arpeggios chosen. The title, in Spanish, suggests indirectly "huge piano" which has much to do with the pre-conceived plan for the piece: a composition for piano and piano sounds.
Dance...dense...primitive...irritation...innocence...these were most of the "impulses" which produced and structured this piece.
