John King: Piano Vectors for 6 pianos (world premiere)

A major work of 80 minutes duration for the 40,000 sq. ft. space, Piano Vectors for 6 pianos will fill the space with rich textures of sound. Each pianist is a soloist, and each piano will be located at chance-determined locations throughout this incredible venue. This composition was begun with a system of organizing Time, and this system in turn generated all subsequent musical and spatial elements. Imagine the 6 pianists traveling through space and time, each at their own rate, speeding up or stretching Time in chance-determined and improvised ways. This will be the world premiere of Piano Vectors, which explores and summarizes King’s ideas on the organization of Time and Space as the primary focus of sound.
