Hybrid Entity
for toy piano and robot toy piano
Length: 5 minutes
Composed: 2017
Commissioned: UnCaged Toy Piano Festival
Premiere by: December 13, 2017. UnCaged Toy Piano Festival. Roulette. Brooklyn, New York
Program Note: Hybrid Entity fuses a human toy pianist and the Robot Toy Piano, a mechanical instrument created by sound artist Ranjit Bhatnagar, into a single musical entity. Rapid streams of notes create fuzzy, surreal textures that blur the lines between human and machine, harmony and timbre, and motion and stasis.
