Heptapiano - piano space for 7 automatic piano players Heptapiano - piano space for 7 automatic piano players

At the Ars Electronica Festival 2011, in the freeroom of lentos, seven automatic piano players of the serie Rhea has been arranged in an 20m diameter circle and played like an ambisonics spatial piano space. The commissioned work by the ars electronica center Linz has used as a base the 32th trope of Josef Matthias Hauer "Und die Wellen umspielen uns" for self replicant mutation algorythms embedded in noise waves of piano tones.
