Piano Room is a piano recital with a difference.

The audience is immersed in a multi-directional soundscape of augmented piano, real-world sounds and poetry that muses on the relationship of human, urban, and nature. Is it a seduction, argument, battle, or conversation?

There is no stage. The audience mingles with the two musicians (pianist and laptop musician/MC) within a minimum 14m square space. The MC invites the audience listen from different positions during the show, whether seated, lying down or reclined on cushions amongst the ambience design (plants with twinkling lights).

This is a ‘relaxed’ style performance that has special appeal for parents with young children and families with teenage musicians who appreciate the interactive prompts, and unconventional seating. It also appeals to older audience members who enjoy experiencing music whilst seated close to the performer, and seeing the music being created in real time.
