In opdracht van het Bimhuis ontwikkelde pianist Tony Roe tijdens de pandemie een solo piano programma gebruikmakend van modulaire synthesizers en interactieve visuals van Marcel Wierckx.

Tony Roe (1979) has been working for quite some time as a key player, composer, and sound
designer. Since graduating from the Conservatory of Amsterdam in 2009, he has been looking
for new ways to make music. For example, he uses visuals and other media that are fully
interactive with the music to improvise. Roe also integrates multimedia elements into the shows
for his piano trio Tin Men and the Telephone; for example by letting the audience influence the
music during a concert via an app. This led to unique collaborations with the Metropole
Orchestra, among others. During the first lockdown, Roe created a fully interactive show for Tin
Men, with the audience still able to participate through an app and other technologies.
In short: Tony Roe is the perfect person to answer the question: how do you create new work in
these times? He wrote new pieces, especially for BIMHUIS Productions, and is performing solo
for the first time. The piano is complemented by modular synthesizers and interactive visuals
(created by Marcel Wierckx).
