SUMMARY:Kelly Moran: Don’t Trust Mirrors at Roulette
DESCRIPTION:New York-based composer\, pianist\, and former Roulette Resident/Van Lier Fellow Kelly Moran performs material for her forthcoming album for prepared piano and electronics. A companion project to her 2024 acclaimed release Moves in the Field (Warp)—which utilized the advanced technology of a Yamaha Disklavier—this new album showcases a return to Moran’s signature use of prepared piano (a method of placing objects on or between strings to create different tonal effects and timbres) and electronics. \n“Moran’s music gradually unfolds over the course of looped melodies that feel both unhurried and like running up a hill\, evoking the fast-paced twirls and grace of the ice skaters that inspire her. Much of Moran’s music is driven by technical prowess\, but she still finds room for lightness.” —Pitchfork\n“Butterfly Phase layers multiple levels of activity: sustained chords\, a thoughtfully unfolding melody and plinking\, perpetual-motion eighth-notes\, the sound of finding a path through countless glittering distractions.” —The New York Times\nA livestream will be available free of charge at 8pm on the day of the performance and archived for future viewing. \nOver the past decade\, New York-based composer and pianist Kelly Moran has challenged the piano’s traditional\, classically-imposed school of thought with a more contemporary\, experimental approach. An accomplished and highly sought-after composer\, Moran has collaborated with artists the likes of Oneohtrix Point Never as part of his touring ensemble for 2018 album Age Of\, as well as singer and composer FKA Twigs’s live ensemble. Moran has also composed for classical musician Margaret Leng Tan and worked with other visionary contemporaries like Kelsey Lu\, Yves Tumor\, The Avalanches\, Helado Negro\, Bibio\, and more. As a solo artist\, Moran’s critically acclaimed albums\, Bloodroot and Ultraviolet\, have explored a variety of extended piano techniques like John Cage-inspired prepared piano and exercises in improvisation. Her unique strand of experimental piano compositions\, which conjure hypnotizing textures and dramatic compositional arcs\, have been included on year-end lists across classical\, avant-garde\, and metal genres. Moran’s 2024 album\, Moves in the Field\, was praised by the New York Times for being “a softhearted but steel-skinned set of 10 piano pieces that are as rapturous as a waterfall or as delicate as vapor. Her first album in six years\, it is the redemptive conclusion in an extended span of personal tragedy and professional doubt\, all ingrained in its sweeping songs.” Moran’s new album is a companion album to  her 2024 release and showcases a return to her use of prepared piano and electronics.
