Welcome 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.

The third episode of Blackbox is on Bert van Herck’s piano piece Méandres. The main focus of this episode lies on the question of how the composer transforms a musical idea that seems secondary at first into an important supporting pillar of his work. Of course, you will also find out how all of this relates to the title of Bert’s piece (and of this episode).
As always the podcast contains many musical examples as well as a full recording of my performance of the piece.
I am looking forward to receiving any feedback or questions from you. Please post your comments below or email me directly at seda@sedaroeder.com
In the second episode of Blackbox, I will show you the six building blocks that make up Stockhausen’s famous piano piece No. 9. Recognizing these formal elements will help you find a way into this complex composition and hopefully increase your enjoyment of this fabulous piece!
