Work Overview
Walkman Antiquarian juxtaposes two technologies, the grand piano and the 24 key plastic sampler. The samples were taken from (mix-) cassette tape recordings from the record collection of the composer's father. These recordings were sent through a series of gating devices and tape machines in the studio, prior to performance. The samples are then distributed to five speakers spread across the ensemble, informing individual players when and what to play live.
