Delphine Dora

Musician, composer, and improviser Delphine Dora brings together prepared piano and voice in a unique experience with Prepared Piano/Voice . Dora explores the voice in different languages, sometimes inventing a new, ethereal, and atmospheric one that transcends imagination and poetry. What is a prepared piano? Following Henry Cowell, who invented the concept, and John Cage, who developed it, a prepared piano is a piano in which various objects (of all kinds) have been placed to transform or alter its sound. In Delphine Dora's work, Prepared Piano/Voice opens onto an imaginary, sensitive, indescribable, and adventurous world. Indeed, this artist also practices field recording, which involves recording sounds of nature to create soundscapes, a contemplative and mysterious space. This technique is constantly deployed in Prepared Piano/Voice.
