Secret sandhills and satellites

Out of stock

Pieces for ruined pianos and pianos on the edge of ruin. For several years now, Ross Bolleter has been scouring around Western Australia and beyond looking for ruined pianos. He has found the right music for each instrument, and performed and recorded it. This collection contains some recent choice items recorded around Perth and Alice Springs. The main work, inspired by an Aborigine painting, is the 28-minute 'Secret Sandhills,' a generally slow-moving work spliced together from performances on six ruins. There are also 10 shorter and generally faster 'Satellites,' some of which were performed on two ruined pianos simultaneously. Fresh new sounds from decaying old instruments.
