about

“beet5 takes Beethoven’s Fifth Piano Concerto
as its starting point. The slow movement was
recorded using a special turntable for the blind
that plays back records at quarter speed. I had
an old recording of the piece lying around;
I forget who the pianist was. The slowed down
version was very striking, recognisable as
Beethoven’s music but much sadder, more fragile.
I developed a piece around this, using my usual
array of synthesized sounds, field recordings,
‘borrowed’ and improvised stuff, etc., and
performed this one direct to disk, which is the
version presented here. I tried to continue refining
the piece, working it towards true ‘installation’
status, but it didn’t really come together.
Eventually I abandoned the project.” — MJS
