Computer Music Currents 12

'CAP-KO, my first piano concerto, was written for special solo instruments. I use two grand pianos which are both played by the soloist: a normal acoustic grand piano which is used as part of the orchestra as an “echo chamber“, and a digital MIDI piano used as a solo instrument which, thanks to its electronic equipment, enables the soloist to add extra notes. The resulting parallel intervals – a reference to Bartók – lead to an unusual kind of tonal virtuosity and tonal complexity. CAP-KO is conceptually related to Bartók's music in another way too, referencing the relationship between the solo instruments and percussion. CAP-KO has been jointly commissioned by five European orchestras to mark the 125th birthday of Béla Bartók (25.3.2006).'
