Hans Tutschku - http://www.tutschku.comWelcome to the fourth episode of Blackbox. This episode of Blackbox will introduce a composition that employs not only solo piano but also live-electronics: Zellen-Linien (Cells and Lines), composed by one of the most important electronic music composers of our time: Hans Tutschku. I will particularly focus on one fascinating aspect of this composition which is the interaction between computer and performer, and how this interaction affects the aural outcome of each performance.

Here is the full recording of the piece from my performance at the New York City Electroacoustic Music Festival:

If you would like to listen to a live performance of Zellen-Linien, you are kindly invited to my upcoming performance at MIT’s Kilian Hall on September 25, at 8pm.

I am looking forward to seeing you there, and as always please let me know if you have any comments on this podcast either by simply emailing me at seda@sedaroeder.com or using the comments field below.
