An introduction to the Disklavier piano technology with Heratch Touresianan from Yamaha, an expert in the digital music industry.
The inaugural Disklavier (DKV) Festival is the creation of Frederic Chiu, renowned performing & recording pianist, Yamaha Artist and Piano Professor at the CMU School of Music. The music world is quickly moving to combine high-level acoustic performance and technology, allowing new recording/performing approaches and, in the specific case of piano, the ability to remote control pianos around the world, among many other advances. CMU was early to acknowledge the power of the mix of Humanities/Arts and Technology through its BXA program, and the Yamaha Disklavier, the leading technology-integrated acoustic piano made for concert stages, is an instrument that embodies this. The DKV Festival (Feb. 3–5) showcases the capabilities and possibilities of the Disklavier, with five events across three days.
