Alvin Lucier has made a life’s work of taking everyday actions and relationships — little irregularities in our speech, the sound of a room we are in, the magnetism of an object in the hand — and unfurling them slowly through electronic processes until they become revelations of sound that are remarkably warm and full of life. Music for Piano and Amplified Sonorous Vessels is a shorter piece for Lucier that teaches us to notice, examine, and appreciate the nuances that make beauty around us.. It is both an adoration of the piano and a challenge to our idea of concert music. Lucier completely deconstructs the sound of the piano into high, middle, low, and subtone frequencies and then threads each strand back together through different resonating pots, amplifying the result through the speakers. Far from a piano solo, this is a true duo for the pianist and the musician running the electronics. The pianist is directed to “play simply” and “avoid gestures which derive from other music.” Each choice fills the resonating pots with sound, like a painter loading up a palette. It is then the sound engineer who orchestrates the future of those sounds, digging around to see which ringing tones to pick up and combine. The two players keep reshaping the sonic landscape and transporting us from one vessel to the next, until we have explored all corners of the scene and are ready to allow the next piece to take us over.
