about

Thollem performs original themes and improvisations on four pianos in unique tuning systems devised by Clem Fortuna. Clem joins Thollem in performance on Ten Tone Equal Temperament with spontaneous tuning alterations.

-Notes on the performance by Thollem
While preparing for the concert with these tunings, I decided my approach would be primarily experiential. I thought of myself as a spelunker, diving deep into the sounds of these four pianos to bring up what I thought were interesting and beautiful gems to share with my fellow listeners. For me, the duo with Clem on the Baldwin Electropiano, entitled Ten Tone Equal Temperament, was one of the most fun musical experiences I've ever had. We sat two feet across from each other, creating sounds together and surprising ourselves at every turn (of the tuning pins).
