Eve Egoyan performs the world premieres of Seven Studies for Augmented Piano, which she created for a newly imagined instrument that delves into the space between what a piano can do and what Eve has always wished a piano could do. The core of these works is the live acoustic sound of the physical piano she is playing, but through the delicate intervention of technology, she tests (teases) the edges of the piano’s natural sound, ultimately pushing it beyond the familiar, through the impossible, and into the extraordinary.

The livestream also includes the world premiere of a short video directed by Toronto filmmaker Su Rynard: Études for Augmented Piano takes the audience inside Eve’s world as she creates new works for this augmented piano. The video playfully reveals how the elusive sounds in her compositions are produced, while affirming how the listener is essential to Eve’s creative process, even in a time when isolation prevails.
