From crashing tone clusters, droning arpeggios, and blues syncopations gone mad to soft ambient soundscapes, 84 Pianos is a choose-your-own adventure entry inside a piece of new music, conceived by Vanessa Tomlinson and composed by Erik Griswold.
Originally created for all of the pianos at the Queensland Conservatorium (there are 84), and premiered in World Science Festival 2017 as part of 100 Ways to Listen, the work now goes national, with pianists from around the country, invited to take part in a live performance from their own homes and studios. This global pandemic edition will not be limited to 84: we will include as many pianists from as many houses from all corners of the country into the mix as we can (now featuring over 100!).
The 84 Pianos – Global Pandemic Edition one-time-only performance will be live-streamed on YouTube and pianist locations will be geo-located on the Locus Sonus SoundMap project. We are inviting performers to livestream their audio only to Leah who will be doing a live mix of all the feeds – no video. However, we are also asking performers to pre-upload photos of their piano to our video-wizard Greg Harm who will then do a live mix of the photos, live video of the composer performing the work, and live mapping of the national soundscape.
We invite you to join this innovation project in three ways:
1) to perform,
2) to see and hear Leah Barclay and Greg Harm’s unique live mixes via youtube live
3) to create your own live sound mix using the Locus Sonus Sound Map.
If you want to participate, it is recommended that participating pianists have the equivalent of AMEB grade 6 standard, have access to a smartphone or laptop to livestream audio of their performance, and be willing to attend at least one virtual training session before the performance (dates and times tbc).
The Performance will take place on June 12th at 6pm AEST.
All pianists will need to check in by 5.30pm.
Pre-performance all participants will need to provide the team with a photo of
1) themselves at their piano;
2) the view from their piano;
3) the inside of their piano.
This will be due by June 5th, 5pm. They can be upload here.

Please fill out the form above to receive scores and an information kit. All pianists must participate in one Zoom training session to explain how the composition works. These sessions will be run by the composer Erik Griswold. In addition you are welcome to ask questions to the team at any point in the lead-up to the event. A FAQ sheet will be made available to the participants and you will also receive technical advice on the mobile app and live streaming from Leah Barclay.
84 Pianos is “a thirty-minute tour de force…The pianists played from a single score, artfully laid out to create fragmentary echoes and ricochets of ear-catching euphony…
84 Pianos was a joyous and brilliant success, its formula could easily be adapted for anywhere between 2 and 2,000 pianos…” – Vincent Plush, Limelight Magazine
This performance will be co-presented by Clocked Out, Queensland Conservatorium Research Centre, Tangible Media and the School of Creative Industries at USC.
