The Music:
Affected Piano was created in the Autumn of 2011. Each piece originates from
short extracts taken from the piano part of another work. Phases were taken,
stretched, distorted, modulated, filtered, layered and then arranged as can
be heard on the disc. Occasionally the original phases are reintroduced in a
repeated pattern.
The original piano part does not use the standard 12 note western tuning
system (12EDO) but instead uses 19 notes (19EDO). The result is that that
while chords are to the greater extent familiar, unexpected changes and
subtle new harmonies run throughout.
Although never planned as a spiritual work, the combination of effects and
tuning often create that impression, shifting from elation to devastation,
the work does not sit comfortably on this plane of existence.
The Release:
Originally released by
Somehow Recordings
in July, it is now available here as a download or very limited edition of 10
hand numbered, rubber stamped and otherwise customised discs.

Reviews:
'Affected Piano' is a beautiful piece of music that shows the exquisite sound subtlety of Joe Evans.
"....a haunting sonic landscape that is quite different from the two previously described releases. To say the least..."
"Mind blowing and face melting"
