PREPARED PIANO
We owe the technique of the prepared piano to the American composer John Cage. As early as 1949 he was experimenting with objects such as erasers, nails, wire, paper, etc., which he placed between the piano strings in order to create new, previously unheard sounds.
A Bösendorfer grand piano was available for the recordings, which was made to sound with a wide variety of objects or with bare hands. The resulting experimental and sometimes frightening sound structures are not only suitable for contemporary compositions, but also for film soundtracks or as starting material for creative sound design.
The Single Instrument Prepared Piano contains all samples and articulations that can also be found in the large Vienna Instruments Collection Special Keyboards. A detailed list of the available gameplays can be found under the Sample Content menu item.
Your purchase of Prepared Piano also entitles you to a free download of the Vienna Instruments software player, which includes the Vienna Ensemble mixing and hosting software.
