The composer and virtuoso pianist Denman Maroney, distinguished for two remarkable aspects to his work. First, he has developed a unique technique and vocabulary for prepared piano where he places his fingers and objects directly onto the strings inside the piano, which he calls Hyperpiano. Second, he has the uncanny ability to play in multiple tempos and meters simultaneously. Plus he excels in re-interpreting jazz classics. We hear examples of all of this in recordings from his performances between 1986-2010. With collaborators David Simons, Ned Rothenberg, Dave Ballou, Reuben Radding, Michael Sarin.
