This work consists of a series of five studies that explore different interactions between the piano and the Seaboard, an electronic instrument that allows for the execution of both traditional electronic elements and live electronic performance in a manner much more connected to the performer than software-based programs like Max MSP or other sound production/modulation software. Through these studies, I aim for the performer to become familiar with both the sound production capabilities of this instrument and the possibilities for sonic combination between the piano and the Seaboard. To achieve this, the performer will require:
- A Seaboard Rise 49
- A laptop with the Equator program
- An electronic pedal
- A minimum of two Bluetooth speakers with the lowest possible latency
