The latest proposition from composer/pianist Stefan Schultze is a project called Hyperplexia. The term denotes an obsessive-level fascination with the vast sonic possibilities inherent in the piano. It also describes a state of ecstasy induced by the imaginative exploration of the limitless compositional and performative potentials offered by the instrument. Through a series of live experiments investigating the structural, mechanical, and sonic dimensions of the piano, Schultze disrupts any preconceived notions we might have regarding the instrument.
