	NYC artist Kenneth Kirschner is well known by all of you because of his releases on 12k label and Subrosa (with Taylor Deupree). Again, Conv is proud to present this great album by one of our favourite artists from the last years: " January 2, 1999 et al. is a collection of three of my compositions, including two pieces focused on the intersection of piano and electronics, and one based on purely digital sound design. January 2, 1999 uses a sampler to refract simple piano motifs into more complex, interfering patterns. July 18, 2002 is a slowly evolving, rhythmic assemblage of sounds derived principally from software synthesizers. November 11, 2003, the source material for the forthcoming CD post_piano 2, is a series of fragmentary acoustic piano recordings, each recorded using different techniques and processes that emphasize the environmental sounds present in my studio, including the sound of a nearby elevated train. As with most of my work, the large-scale structure of these pieces was determined by chance procedures, followed by extensive, careful editing to arrive at the final narrative."
