The composition is developed around the game between the actual piano and his ‘métallique’ brother: the bowed piano that distorts the original sound identity of classical piano in something totally different. Also an old fashion instrument, almost disappeared in the contemporary music and here totally rechanneled to his natural beauty, the Piano Martenot plays an important part in the transforming process of the original sound by distorting the listener’s perception.
‘Résonance Métallique’ is a contemporary composition for piano and small ensemble composed by Alessio Nanni in 2012. This composition investigates the nature of the metallic side of piano, including other instruments like a bowed piano, a piano Martenot and an analog synth.
