V/A:
the post_piano 2 open remix project

October 2005 • 12k/term.

Playing with the source recordings, I was looking for a piano sound hovering between a dry acoustic and polished digital sound. Adding some lo-fi ambience and putting a little more Satie into Ken’s admitted Feldman influence brought me to the version included on this compilation.

Term is pleased to present a selection of recordings from the Post_Piano 2 Open Remix Project. The PP2_ORP was conceived as a logical continuation of Taylor Deupree & Kenneth Kirschner’s recent open source CD, post_piano 2. Just as post_piano 2 was based entirely on Kirschner’s piano sketch “November 11, 2003,” contributors to the PP2_ORP were invited to follow the same process that Deupree & Kirschner used on their CD by taking Kirschner’s sketch and using it as raw material for new compositions.

The response to the PP2_ORP was overwhelming: Term received over a hundred new recordings from around the world representing a tremendous range of creative approaches to the material. We are proud to present here a small cross-section of these contributions in order to showcase some of the diverse and innovative approaches taken by the project’s talented participants.
