Wonderwerp #58 is a minimalistic composition combining acoustic piano with a transducer connected to an analogue sine oscillator, placed on top of the piano’s soundboard. With a sparse sound palette, the piece unfolds through slow, sparse choirs, allowing the delicate interaction between the piano and the sine oscillator to shape the sound. The volume of the transducer’s vibrations, which resonate through the piano, is controlled by Maia’s foot via a switch pedal, adding a layer of subtle dynamic control. The piece’s slow tempo and improvisational nature invite exploration of space and sound, focusing on the organic and evolving relationship between the acoustic and electronic components.
