Open Waters Festival 2021 Tim Crofts 7 Pianos

If you remove me

from the hinge

we can swing freely

on the breeze

Seven pianos you say?  In an underground bunker?  The answer was immediate and continues to unravel.  Seven pianos.  Three times.  Seven minutes.  Three ways.  Three me.  One you.  Multiplicity on multiplicity.  

Halifax improviser Tim Crofts likes the piano, really he does.  Tim explores the full sonic capabilities of the acoustic piano through extended techniques and a wide range of piano preparations. He is able to coax a variety of colour and extreme dynamic contrast through employing traditional and non-traditional techniques in tandem.  He has performed in numerous settings and with numerous new music and improvised organizations.  However, never before has he faced seven grand pianos.  Will he succeed?  Tune in to find out.
