In which I explore black midi techniques on a 25000 EUR Yamaha Enspire Disklavier grand piano, hardly breaking it all in the process. I was invited to join a motley crew of YouTube synth people at Thomann Synth Reactor last week. My interest in sitting down in a studio and being shown synths by a company demo guy was non-existent, so I scrolled through the Thomann catalog for inspiration. I came upon this Yahama Disklavier (and the Neumann binaural head, see my soul mate Look Mum No Computer's video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-YD18Zw2wKk). Disklavier is Yamaha's player piano which gets more and more elaborate with every release. I have been wanting to work with one for close to 20 years, when I first became aware of them. Later it was works by Aphex Twin and Conlon Nancarrow that made me desire it even more. Then came along black MIDI, and as part of my process is testing everything to its limits and beyond, I decided to try out a mixture of serial composition and black MIDI on the poor piano. My sequencer of choice was Numerology, as I find it the most inspiring interface to compose experimental music on in a DAW. Thomann provided travel, accomodation, and not enough beer, but no money and had no say in what I was going to do there. Decent deal for scratching two items off my bucket list.
