“Liveness becomes a recording.” Tashi Wada, a composer and performer, presents music for a “high-resolution player piano” and reflects on technologies that claim to capture the souls of performers. In his composition, Wada asks how we discern between human expression and technical perfection, how we listen to virtuosos and machines. He speaks with the hosts, Nikita Gale and Alexander Provan, about the pandemic-era vogue for liveness at home, the displacement of pianists by piano rolls (or proprietary software), and the differences between people and marionettes.
