about

[alloy] is a new works commissioning project, performed and recorded on a home-produced prepared piano setup (the same as John Cage’s 1948 Sonatas and Interludes for Prepared Piano). [alloy] features unique and brilliant composers across the United States, Viet Cuong, Marina Kifferstein, Aeryn Santillan, Mischa Salkind-Pearl, Danny Clay, Alex Temple, Michal Massoud and Dorothy Chan, and is organized and performed by Shi-An Costello.

The project culminates in a livestream performance on Friday, April 9th, 2021 on Experimental Sound Studio’s The Quarantine Concerts, and a premiere recording of all eight works.

All works commissioned, performed, recorded and mixed by Shi-An Costello (BMI).

Mixed media composed by Dorothy Chan (track 3) and Aeryn Santillan (track 4).
