DESCRIPTION:
Solo piano improvisation by New York city Based pianist Sylvie Courvoisier, from her album 'Signs and Epigrams' released on Tzadik Records in 2007. http://www.tzadik.com

Swiss Born Composer/improviser Sylvie Courvoisier
is one of the most creative and imaginative pianists in new music. A frequent collaborator of Mark Feldman, Ikue Mori, and Fred Frith, she is a member of Mephista and the leader her own quintet and the trio Abaton.

Here she is featured solo, focusing her unique language of extended techniques into a remarkable new classical chamber music. Mystical, moody an beautiful.

Signs and Epigrams documents my work for solo piano. The combination of conventional sounds (keyboard) and unconventional (inside the piano) techniques point towards a broader concept of piano idioms. The intent is to make it sound as though the piano has become an orchestra unto itself.
