"Barbara Dang: Piano

Pianist of classical training and jazz, aesthetics from which she turned away, the sound universe of Barbara Dang goes from experimental music written to improvised music. She worked with Olivier Benoit and Jérémie Ternoy then met other musicians and composers such as Sophie Agnel, Didier Aschour, Michel Doneda, Daunik Lazro, Radu Malfatti, Michael Pisaro ... She developed a solo piano repertoire (John Cage, Cornelius Cardew, Henry Cowell, Morton Feldman, Tom Johnson, Federico Mompou, Erik Satie ...) which brings into play unusual techniques (prepared, amplified piano, indoor playing) where pure musical action is privileged compared to an individualized aesthetic expression.

Within small groups or large ensembles (La Pieuvre, Le Grand Orchester de Muzzix, Dedalus), she explores other instruments such as amplified objects, electronics, organ or spruce.

Since March 2015, she has worked for Revue & Corrigée: a benchmark review of experimental sound practices."-© Pidz (translated by Google)
