Conrad Tao: "iridescence," for piano and iPad - From 'Voyages'

This ground-breaking composition, from 18-year-old American pianist/composer Conrad Tao' debut full-length album Voyages, features Conrad using the Reactable Mobile app on his Apple iPad, incorporating both synth lines and real-time processing of his piano playing, via the iPad microphone. Conrad describes the piece as being inspired by the phenomenon of "fractured light, that appears differently depending on what angle you look at it from," while also incorporating the concept of modern technology and its ever-changing development.

Conrad was listed in Forbes' 30 under 30 list of noteworthy musicians in 2011 (the only classical musician featured), and hailed by renowned music critic Harris Goldsmith as "the most exciting prodigy to ever come my way" (Musical America).

Conrad Tao – Frederic Rzewski: Which Side Are You On?
Conrad Tao – Frederic Rzewski: Which Side Are You On?

Based on Florence Reece’s 1931 protest song, Frederic Rzewski's stirring piece Which Side Are You On? acts as the opening to Conrad Tao's album American Rage. Discover here: https://wce.lnk.to/arLY

Also included on the album are Rzewski's Winnsboro Cotton Mill Blues, Julia Wolfe's Compassion, and Aaron Copland's Piano Sonata. "This is a program I have been performing in some form since 2015," says Conrad, "and since then my faith has only grown that this music points towards nothing less than a vision of humanity."
