Title: Chopin meets some guy with a Casio
Product review: What we have here is basically a live recording of a series of piano works with intrusive treatments meant to accompany a video installation. Unlike his collaborations with Eno (whose treatments compliment Budd's piano), Bernocchi's polyrhythms, filters, and echo treatments get in the way of the music. Not having seen the video, I can't judge wether the imagery works with the collaboration. The sound mix also isn't up to par, as there is a lot of ambient noise from the audience in the first track. But judged on the merits of the performance, I can only recommend this to Budd fanatics. It's like watching a great movie with someone banging pans and dishes in the kitchen to the sound of a beatbox.
