Fuck me. Fuck me busy me.

I got home from seeing V for Vendetta tonight (excellent, chilling, apropos) to find my computer still playing WFMU. Some beautiful piano pieces in a peculiar tuning. Comes the station break and I find out who it was: some of Michael Harrison’s Music for Harmonically Tuned Piano. It rang a bell and I swore, fuck fuck fuck. Because I’d read about it in one of Keiko’s weekly recommendation emails. Because Harrison’s REVELATION: for Harmonically Tuned Piano was performed in its entirety at Experimental Intermedia on Thursday, while I was busy working for the New School and then coding Jitter patches. What is a harmonically tuned piano?

>In 1986, Harrison created the “harmonic piano,” an extensively modified seven-foot grand piano with the ability to alternate between two different tunings, thus creating the possibility to play 24 notes per octave on a conventional keyboard.

Here is a sample of Harrison’s work as I am sneaky sneaky.

Argh, again, argh. I could have seen the man himself performing for 90 minutes for $15! Anywho, speaking of being things you shouldn’t miss if you value your ability to not say fuck a lot, I’m performing Monday night with 60+ other artists to benefit David Linton, a friend and pillar of the NY art world. See above.
