Hybrid Duo
Keywords:
Quantum Music, piano duo, LP Duo, dualityAbstract
As members of the LP Duo, for the past 14 years we have experimented with various possibilities of playing on two pianos. Our artistic curiosity and the desire to gain new knowledge and freedom led to our involvement with the Quantum Music project and the creation of a new instrument – the hybrid piano. In this paper we elaborate on our experience with using the new hybrid pianos within the Quantum Music project, but also discuss our ensemble as an artistic embodiment of duality, entanglement and other quantum phenomena. Hybrid piano is a combination of a traditional piano and digital synthesizer with analogue controls that allows diferent processing of acoustic and digital signals in real time and enables the pianists to continue to use concert pianos whilst equipping them with new colours and new, hitherto unexlplored expressive possibilities.
