Notes

"Ecstatic Descent" is a prepared-piano work that takes the listener on a wild excursion from the uppermost to the lowermost of the piano’s keys.

“In ‘Ecstatic Descent’ every note of the piano is altered (‘prepared’) with bolts, screws, strips of rubber, cardboard, and paper—transforming the instrument into a miniature percussion orchestra. By carefully positioning these materials along its strings the entire piano is, in effect, tuned to A minor. On this singular instrument I perform cascades of rapid-fire textures that start at the very top of the keyboard and wend their way down, bubbling and glinting as they descend.” (Erik Griswold)
