TINY KEYS BIG SOUNDS
Tiny Keys Big Sounds explores the fascinating world of toy pianos. In the hands of pianist Tricia Dawn Williams, this miniature instrument becomes a portal to dreamscapes and worlds of wonder. An internationally recognised exponent of the toy piano, Williams has just released a new album with Parma Records (USA). This project presents a collection of works specially commissioned by Williams, encompassing an array of compositions: pieces for solo toy piano, works that combine the piano with the toy piano and compositions enhanced by electronics and percussion. Three of the works are further enriched by original video art projections designed exclusively for the project.
“Williams is a fearless pianist. She seeks and inhabits sound worlds most pianists don’t have the courage to enter.” - Rhonda Rizzo - No Dead Guys Piano Blog
