Hiromi - Improvisation

[rankingtrevor]

Is that her 'fuckface'?

[jnudler]

In another video you see that she has just added two metal bars



[murrayatuptown]

You can see her place and manipulate a stainless steel rule(r) in the Jazz/Marciac 2010 YouTube video posted by uvisni (YT wouldn't let me post the link)

[Frisbieinstein]

Does anyone else find this funny?

[SebowTube]

ok, she's a killer musician, we all know that but more than this, no matter what the expression on her face is, she's soooo cute ;-)

I wonder if she plays abstract beats to get people to stop clapping-

[skulduggerous]

@itsanthonyhere If I was her, that'd be my reasoning, heh.

[hugenoodles]

she's such a amazing girl

[BCKBCK]

This is on her new cd, "Place to Be". One of the best tracks in a great album.

[shenajihen65]

isnt she laying a ruler?

[Pikkemand12345678910]

She had some sort of 'carpet' she layed over the strings to make them sound like that.

[sysphus13]

i don't get it, is that a harpsichord?

[ryemann79]

She is playing a prepared piano. Some of the strings have clips, or something similar, on them, to give them that "harpsichord sound." Around midway she reaches in and disables them, and the piano sounds normal again.

BTW, she is improvising around the classical piece Pachelbel Canon in D, written in the 1700's.

[richardlittlewood196]

I was there, what she actuakky did was lay a piece of bamboo about a meter long inside the piano

[skibum1981]

@ryemann79

That's not really right: she just put a thin flat piece of metal over the strings. You can see this on other videos of the same piece.
