Japanese pianist Fumio Yasuda performs his original composition Fractured Silence, a sequence of 21 solo piano pieces he started writing in 1973. In addition to grand piano, Yasudo plays a prepared piano to reach and experience the outmost limit of unexpected spheres of sounds. The distortion causes an assault against the natural tones of a piano. By placing objects like nails and screws on the strings, each attack generates a different noise and reverberation. The harmonic structure of the overtones rings out differently, recalling similar sounds like a memory, a point of reference, an indispensable experience.
"I strongly feel that this work is part of my personal history and identity, which I have created neither intentionally nor unintentionally. These pieces were composed, in retrospect, to the memory of my listening habits. My work reflects classical, contemporary as well as traditional music, harmonic and melodic structures of different Western music and improvisation. I tried to expose memories of these repeating resonances, which I experienced over the years."
- Fumio Yasuda
