Hyperdrone n2, onde e sisma

Virtuoso Lydia Kavina leads a Theremin ensemble in a diverse programme celebrating the one hundredth anniversary of the invention of the Theremin.

I had the pleasure to have one of my piece (Hyperdrone #2 for prepared piano, theremin and seismic data) performed by Lydia and myself on such an important stage. It has been such a great honour!
