Experience the world-premiere performance of "Fabular Arcana," a monumental four-movement concerto written for a piano tuned to a custom, haunting tuning. In this cycle, the traditional piano is abandoned in favor of a re-tuned instrument that allows for celestial harmonies, monstrous resonances, and mechanical textures impossible on a standard piano. The Four-Movement Journey: I. Hexefriri's Grand Parallactic Clockwork: The introduction of the celestial, microtonal sound-world. II. The Coal-Bog Giantesses: A descent into primordial, "monstrous" low-end resonances. III. Concerning the Great Bøyg's Various Reconstructions of Solveig's Song from the Degraded Memories of Malevolent Woodland Spirits: A "shattered" reimagining of Grieg’s Solveig’s Song from the memories of malevolent spirits. IV. Insecta ex Machina: A final explosion of high-velocity, mechanical chaos that pushes the performer to the human limit. Composer & Pianist: David M. Gordon Total Duration: 41:23 Support & Connect with Paul Sánchez: * Subscribe for new "Composer-Pianist" releases every Friday. 🧡 Donate on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/SanchezComposer 🎹 Official Website: https://www.paultsanchez.com #ContemporaryMusic #PianoConcerto #NewMusic #SteinwayArtist #Microtonal #ModernClassical Fabular Arcana: Concerto for Retuned Piano and Orchestra Composer: David M.
