Suite for Piano and Electronics

Described by The Times as 'an outstanding musician,' and by Gramophone as a 'charismatic pianist,' Génia was born in the Ukraine where she studied with Regina Horowitz.

She has relentlessly strove to push the boundaries of the established piano tradition by commissioning new music and collaborating with an eclectic range of artists. Equally at ease on the stage of the Wigmore Hall or Cargo nightclub, Génia has received critical acclaim for her live performances and contemporary classical releases for Black Box. In addition to her artistic career she has developed Piano-Yoga®, a unique method of piano playing and teaching. John Richards: Composer, experimental noise artist, and instrument maker.

John Richards' broad talents and skills at manipulating all types of sound are brilliantly shown in his composition for Génia. John splits his time between performing and recording with Sand (electronic-meet-avant-punk band who have just released their third album on Soul Jazz), performing with kREEPA (his improvisation group which uses feedback loops mutated by his own home-made electronic circuits), lecturing in Leicester and composing.

All the sounds (drums, percussion, etc.) used in each remix were created from the original master recordings of Suite for Piano and Electronics." (forcedexposure.com)
