Year 7-11 Instrumental and Certificate II Music students recently attended the very distinct, unique and beautiful sounds of a ‘prepared piano’. A prepared piano is a piano that has had its sounds temporarily altered by placing bolts, screws, mutes, rubber erasers, and/or other objects on or between the strings. The sounds were accompanied with a large 3D sculpture made of scaffolding rigs, that moved like a mobile and incorporated subtle but dramatic lighting effects. Performed by Australian percussionist, composer and sound artist Matthias Schack-Arnott, our students were very impressed by the Perth Concert Hall and performer alike.
