Etudes for Midi Piano explores the duality of traditional sound and mechanical control.

The MIDI-piano is an embodiment of the important but dubious connection between technical development and musical instruments. This alienated structure with its cables, sensors and motors fixed on the body of an instrument of classical proportions reminds us of space-monsters in science-fiction films. This duality (traditional sound and mechanical control) means new opportunities mainly in two fields: in the approach of rhythm and dynamics. (László Vidovszky)
