Aftermath by Hammer Inventions

10 years after the release of the first Hammer Inventions record, Lynda Arnold and Daniel Berkman return with a dynamic follow-up to their unique piano driven cinematic sound, appropriately titled for the current times.... Aftermath. Get ready for a listening adventure in mood, texture, tone and raw emotion.

The Hammer Inventions project by Lynda Arnold and Daniel Berkman features piano compositions and layered electronic orchestrations made entirely of sounds generated from the piano. From delicate and ethereal acoustic piano moments reminiscent of George Winston or Philip Glass to layered textural moments similar to Steve Reich, or Autechre, Lynda and Daniel create new pieces within the limits of piano-generated sounds. What emerges is a fresh take on the instrument, both as a collaborative, skilled piano duo and as seasoned electronic music production artists. Some of the piano sounds used include prepared piano (John Cage homage), plucked piano, bowed piano, toy piano, backwards piano, detuned piano and more effected and sampled expressions, and rare keyboard instruments.
