Augmented Piano

Denis Levaillant

Augmented piano recital

I developed this project with Marc Piera, sound director at the Théâtre National de Chaillot in Paris, where he perfected an avant-garde sound system.
Throughout the recital, the piano is amplified and transformed, while the sound is spatialised.
As it goes along, the electro joins in the dance.
The listener is plunged in an entirely new piano sound, “augmented” by the electro transformations and diffusion.
This recital can be scheduled in any room having a grand piano and a broadcasting sound system.

Review

One might say that a piano performance by Denis Levaillant is, primarily, a pianist facing and relating to his instrument.We might add that, when performing “PianoSoloPiano”, he gives a show in every sense of the term, a show in which his physical involvement, its musical organic extension, takes us to a powerful emotional level.
