‘Anonymous Sextet for Perverted Piano’ is a conceptual performance piece that combines a traditional Grand piano, 6 long distance remote controlled vaginal/anal vibrators (products of the Lovense company) and the prolonged use of the piano’s sustainer pedal. The six vibrators are placed atop the strings of said Grand piano, as well as be accessible and operable by random strangers across the globe. After the random and unwitting performers have befriended and synced up with a strawman catfishing account linked to the 6 individual vibrators, they will then presumably use the Lovense app to send preset or originally drafted vibrational patterns to stimulate their assumed target. The then kinetic vibrators will then move aleatrorically throughout the tonal possibilities that the piano permits and piano’s soundboard itself. Additionally, the piano’s sustain pedal will be held down throughout the performance, elongating the triggered tones.
Performed and captured at the CHB, Collegium Hungaricum Berlin.
