Piano Trio

This Piano Trio is an exercise in irrelevance. Do the subtle changes to rhythm and note-duration really mean much when they’re propagating through a resonant space that clouds them with reverb and echo? I enforce some rather unwieldy piano extended-technique in order to access pitches that are slightly out of tune -- but does that narrow detuning matter much when it’s subject to the natural pitch-decay that all soundwaves experience as they travel? I thoroughly enjoy writing music that does not matter, and I hope you enjoy spending your time in the most meaningful way possible: by wasting it.

Recorded at Lefrak Hall at the Aaron Copland School of Music.
