Total = 65 mins of music
Just as painters and visual artists employ the vast range of colors in the chromatic spectrum, composers and performers use the endless sonic spectrum to create and evoke musical worlds. As a pianist and an amateur painter, I have discovered a personal form of synesthesia – a melding of senses – in regards to how I experience music. This quasi-impressionistic and expressionistic program presents repertoire which truly lives at the intersection of color and sound, exploring this meeting of the senses. While practicing and preparing each piece of music, I seek to translate my mental imagery into the real world, both through my musical performance and on the canvas.
In order to fully realize this program, I completed a six-month residency at Cité des Arts in Paris, where I worked simultaneously on the musical performance and the paintings of the scores.
Fittingly, the repertoire of this program pays homage to the most important French composers of the Impressionistic era (the period of musical innovation that is perhaps most strongly tied to a corresponding visual artistic movement). The set of Debussy works explore his use of colors and how it evolved from his last two preludes to his etudes, which were composed towards the end of his life. Frédéric Durieux’s Pour tous ceux qui tombent-Hommage à Ravel (For all those who fall – Homage to Ravel) relates to the melancholy often found in Ravel’s music, as so beautifully represented by Ravel’s Oiseux tristes (Sad Birds) immediately afterwards. The massive piece Cantéyodjayâ by Messiaen, based on Indonesian rhythm, is placed at the golden section of the program. It demonstrates the allover synesthetic composer’s use of palette in his very own way, strong and expressionistic. The program ends with two audio-visual works by Polish composer Jarosław Kapuscinski. With new Artificial Intelligence technologies using the computer as an audiovisual canvas, it is possible to develop new music and musicians to perform with this technology. The composition process involves integrating visual ideas from the start and using music and imagery on a structural, emotive, and semantic levels. With Antescofo score following technology, the computer can be turned into an intelligent and attentive co-performer. As the pianist plays, the computer listens and anticipates her actions. It can then play its own visual and audio parts as a live electronics and visual artist would.

A Multi-Sensory Concert Featuring Works by Schumann and Jarosław Kapuściński
On Friday, February 22, 2019 at 12:00pm, Tri-I Noon Recitals at The Rockefeller University presents contemporary Chinese-American pianist Jenny Q Chai in a multi-sensory program that features the first two movements of Schumann’s Kreisleriana and two audio-visual works by Polish composer and Stanford University Music Department Chair, Jaroslaw Kapuściński: Side Effects and Where is Chopin?.
Kapuściński’s Where is Chopin? is a performance installation that examines the perceptions and emotions on the faces of people around the world as they listen to Chopin’s Preludes Op. 28. These expressions are shown with re-composed essences of the music. Kapuściński says, “To obtain the images, I travelled to 12 cities around the world to hold listening sessions with volunteers. In each country I collaborated with a local photographer or cinematographer. For me, the piece is almost a social experiment: Are the reactions different by culture, or are they different by gender or generation? How does music touch people from completely different backgrounds, professions and cultures?”
Side Effects started as a photographic documentary by Kacper Kowalski that was shown in exhibitions and was published as a book. It features complex relationships between people and nature as seen from 150 meters above ground. The estranged perspective revealed unexpected metaphoric and structural dimensions that inspired Jarosław Kapuściński to propose an audiovisual collaboration. The two artists collaborated closely on video editing and musical composition to offer a personal guided experience of 10 locations in the north of Poland, with each movement titled by the geographic coordinates of the shown place. Side Effects was commissioned by Spoleto USA Festival in 2017.
Chai is a champion of Kapuściński’s music and has collaborated with him to test early versions of the groundbreaking synchronous score-following software program, Antescofo. Developed at IRCAM by scientist Arshia Cont and composer Marco Stroppa, the software offers a real-time computer response to live performance elements, enabling performers to create multimedia presentations of sophisticated and expressive fluency. Chai explored and helped hone Antescofo in residence at IRCAM alongside Kapuściński, and has since toured internationally with the software, offering multimedia performances in Shanghai, New York, Havana, and elsewhere.

SONOROUS BRUSHES
Just as painters and visual artists employ the vast range of colors in the chromatic spectrum, composers and performers use the endless sonic spectrum to create and evoke musical worlds. As a pianist and an amateur painter, I have discovered a personal form of synesthesia – a melding of senses – in regards to how I experience music. This all-French program presents repertoire which truly lives at the intersection of color and sound, exploring this meeting of the senses. While practicing and preparing each piece of music, I seek to translate my mental imagery into the real world, both through my musical performance and on the canvas.
In order to fully realize this program, I completed a four-month residency at Cité des Arts in Paris, where I worked simultaneously on the musical performance and the paintings of each score. In the 19/20 season I will be able to tour with the results of this process, offering a simultaneous performance of music and display of my visual art, united for the audience, just as they are in my own personal experience
Fittingly, the repertoire of this program pays homage to the most important French composers of the Impressionistic era (the period of musical innovation that is perhaps most strongly tied to a corresponding visual artistic movement). Frédéric Durieux’s Echappée, composed to be played between the last two preludes of Debussy, acts as an elastic band of space and sound that tie the two Debussy preludes together in an all new context, casting the works in a new, illuminating light. Durieux’s Pour tous ceux qui tombent-Hommage à Ravel (For all those who fall – Homage to Ravel) relates to the melancholy often found in Ravel’s music, as so beautifully represented by Ravel’s Oiseux tristes (Sad Birds) immediately afterwards. The program then shifts to Messiaen’s Prelude cloches d’angoisse et larmes d’adieu, which is paired with the Spectralist Tristan Murail’s homage to that work, Cloches d’adieu et un sourire. The entire program finishes on Messiaen’s massive, vivid Cantéyodjayâ, based on Indonesian rhythm.

“I believe we should talk about all classical music — especially the connection between new music and old music — and not keep it caged in an ivory tower anymore.” – Jenny Q Chai
Building on the success of her Piano Steampunk series, pianist Jenny Q Chai performs Where is Chopin? In this performance, Jenny Q Chai explores the relationship between piano and electronics. The program will create a vivid musical story, making use of storytelling techniques common to novels and films, along with cutting edge music technology, such as the artificial intelligence program Antescofo. Highlighting works by composers Jaroslaw Kapuscinski and Robert Schumann, Chai will take audiences on an aural and visual journey that boldly redefines how we think of classical music today.
Works to be performed during the “Where is Chopin?” Program Include:
Jaroslaw Kapuscinski, Oli’s Dream
Robert Schumann, selections from Carnaval:
Valse Noble
Eusebius
Florenstan
Coquette
Replique
Chiarina
Reconnaissance
