On the occasion of the fall.
A new commission by Ynyr Pritchard.

On its 1,181st day in the pond at Plas Bodfa, Piano Drowning by Annea Lockwood fell backwards into the water. To commemorate this re-orientation and the beginning of its next phase of life, we have invited a third new music composition and its live performance in and around the pond.

for four performers, drowned piano and dispersed tape
duration : ~1h 16’30”
composed by Ynyr Pritchard
performed in and around the pond by the composer
in addition to Giuliana Tritto, Leandro Landolina and Zack di Lello

Commission Supported by Ty Cerdd Music Centre Wales.
