Title: Piece for Disaffected Piano One
Genre: Modern
Length: 3:08
Instrumentation: Piano (alternate tuning)

I hesitate to assign a 'feel' to this because it is so exotic. It uses a 19 semitone scale which does not repeat at the octave. There are 9 semitones to a perfect fifth. The tuning is Wendy Carlos' "Alpha" scale. The piano strings are laid to horrible pain in sections as two octaves of keyboard are used to represent a doubling of frequency. 009 2008

Title: Piece for Disaffected Piano Two

Length: 5:26
Instrumentation: Piano (alternate tuning)

Like "PfDP One", this piece also uses the Alpha scale developed by Wendy Carlos. Improvising on this piano is like walking in a minefield. There are many places to step which are just fine, but every now and again you find a surprise. This piece is light, and even comical in parts - with some musical revelations in between. 009 2008
