Eric Glick Rieman – Prepared Rhodes
Performing on a variety of instruments, including the prepared/extended Rhodes electric piano, as well as piano, melodica, celeste, Waterphone, and toy piano, SF Bay Area composer/improviser Eric Glick Rieman performs improvised and previously structured music. He writes for piano and for ensembles, and his work for the prepared and extended Rhodes piano is featured in this performance. Rieman manipulates his Rhodes, modified and extended with eight outputs to create otherworldly textures not normally associated with the instrument, using mallets, bones, rocks, screws, brushes, finger puppets, marbles, and other household objects.
Frank Rolla, the Santa Fe wizard of custom-made instruments and electronics opens the show.
