Eric Glick Rieman - modified extended prepared rhodes and harmonizer Berkeley mu;ti-imstrumentalist and composer Eric Glick Rieman presents four new solo improvisations performed on his extended prepared rhodes: "I modified a Rhodes electric piano by installing two extended sound boards which house vertical tuned zinc rods. These can be played by bowing or striking. I also prepare the inside of the Rhodes, which is left exposed so I can play the tines and resonaters. I play the insides with my hands, with files, with mallets, with rocks and chains, and occasionally with the keyboard." Track Listing and Audio Clips squeak and chime To hear the audio you need the RealPlayer and a 28.8kbps connection or better. If you don't already have the RealPlayer you can download it for free.

"It's funny how art follows extinction for so many electronic instruments of the 20th century... scratching vinyl becomes the axe du jour once digital audio becomes the reproduction norm, analog synthesis becomes the rage for a generation swimming in digital seas -- eric glick rieman's explorations of the venerable rhodes electric piano is part and parcel of the same pattern. no "quiet storm" here ...the tines sprout tentacles, sounding a forest of inharmonicity." - Chris Brown, Assoc. Prof. of Music and Co-Director, Center for Contemporary Music (CCM) Mills College
