specimens
melissa st. pierre tosses classicism and post-classicism overboard, utilizing the prepared piano john cage's notorious instrument of choice and electronic enhancement to sail resolutely in the direction of rock & roll. peppering the strings, hammers, and dampers with a variety of objects, she transforms the piano's typical timbre: sparkling gamelans chatter; harrowing voodoo drums call out in the night. specimens, st. pierre's debut ep, features production and performances by collections of colonies of beeszeena parkins as conservatory arsonists with a decidedly hendrixian flair.
specimens is an enhanced cd with exclusive video content.
