Conductors of Ivories - the performance

Conductors of Ivories...

is the re-creation of Beethoven's Sonata in C sharp minor, played on a Piano and several Toasters. This surreal 'Quasi una Fantasia' offers the possibility of sound through manipulation of the electrical appliance, the musical instrument and the human body. The musicians approach their instruments with delicacy and expectation, before breaking rhythm, shifting direction and feeding anticipation. They traverse domestic, poetic and organic ground as they embark on an unusual expression of musical duet.
