Just me, a piano, and some stellar electronic gear and stellar human (superhuman!) guests!
Influences
Performer heroes (to name a few): Kronos Quartet, Elisabeth Chojnacka, Diamanda Galás, Bruce Springsteen, Neil Young, Madonna, Marilyn Manson, the NY band PAK, Tina Turner. Composer heroes (too numerous to name, but I'm working on it. Reich and Glass are on top of the list, though).
Sounds Like
Ravel, Stravinsky, Chopin on speed, plus Cecil Taylor and Steve Reich (who don't need to be on speed).
"...the downtown piano queen Kathleen Supové." The New Yorker......
"This was classical music played like the best rock'n'roll...Brava." Ben Sisario, NY Press......
GO TO iTUNES TO BUY MY LATEST CD, INFUSION! It will give you an idea of what I do.
I'm a pianist who is always on the lookout for what is new, dazzling, and challenging to play in the 21st Century. Got something like that?
Through my series, The Exploding Piano, I've premiered and performed pieces by countless contemporary composers of all kinds--ones who blend classical virtuosity with the modern world of sound and image.
Lately, I've been working a lot with interactive electronics and video, and also I've been commissioning pieces for Yamaha Disklavier--a really high-tech version of a player piano. The piano can play itself at the same time that Im playing it!
I hope you can come to one of my live shows this year. I'll keep you posted. I always aim to make them a theatrical experience that you can participate in and that you'll really remember!
Thanks for the add Supové, I love your profile btw!
If you get a chance, please take a listen to our first New Age release "Instrumental Piano Music" by Solo Piano Relaxing Music. We'd love to know what you think of it! WE have free downloads at our labels site for you to download.
Dear Supove, Love the expressiveness inyour performance. I ' m amazed with your ability to move forward with creativity, confidence, ... Greetings from Serbia! Alen Ilijic
Thanks so much for the Add–and your friendship. We enjoyed your music very much. Thanks for sharing it with all of us. It's a pleasure having you among our friends!
We've just added two new blogs about Umano, plus four more new compositions, making ten on our space. We hope you and your friends visit us and enjoy our music, too.
We wake up every morning and play the music of the new MySpace friends who have arrived at our site during the night. It occurred to us that these friends (you are among them) are almost universally positive, whether they be novices or legends, and without regard to their station in life or the country they occupy.
Although it's not an original thought, it also occurred to us that we couldn’t hold a verbal conversation with most of these friends, but we have bridged that gap by expressing our art honestly with each other.
We all have been filling the world with our music and art, in the hope that our messages of love and human understanding will have an impact on the world at large.
What a gift and what an opportunity we have received from this technology!
