Delighted to present a very special performance of Morton Feldman's late masterwork 'Triadic Memories' by the great pianist, Tania Caroline Chen!
"All these ideas pass by like a frieze that’s unpredictable and directionless; it’s sometimes disrupted by unpredictable silences or frozen into nagging repetitions. Feldman gives no tempo indications, though the music seems to define its own natural pace, but the pedalling instructions are carefully prescribed, with instructions to play some sections with the sustaining pedal half-down, so that pitches acquire a fuzzy edge, and the music seems to slip out of focus, just out of reach." – Andrew Clements, The Guardian, on 'Triadic Memories'.
Tania Caroline Chen is a performance, sound artist, and free improviser. She performs internationally on piano, keyboards, digital, vintage electronics, found objects and video. She creates multidimensional sound pieces for video and live performance and has shown these works in the UK, Asia and California.

Her solo recordings include Michael Parsons, Cornelius Cardew's Piano Sonatas and John Cage's "Music of Changes". She has recently recorded Feldman’s piano pieces “Triadic Memories” and “For Bunita Marcus” in New York and at KPFA radio in California.
