Music for Prepared Piano

Album by John Cage & Tim Ovens

An album of John Cage’s prepared‑piano works, in which the piano is altered with screws, bolts, rubber and other materials to produce percussive, non‑traditional timbres. It sits within avant‑garde and experimental classical traditions, exploring timbre, rhythm and the transformation of the piano into a quasi‑percussion ensemble.
