Peter Manning Robinson:

An Hour On Earth

My invention, The Refractor Piano™, excels in creating tapestries and images, sounds that are organic and unique. My producer and collaborator, Klaus Hoch had a concept for a video: “An Hour on Earth”. I wondered:  "If I had an hour on earth, what would I do?  Where would I go? Would I share it with someone?  What music would I create? 

The music needed to be a journey: just like my hour on earth…never predictable…always moving. I liked the idea of starting with one lightly “refracted” piano…then adding multiple pianos. With my instrument, I can create complex colors and layers live without overdubbing or pre-recorded tracks. The piece evolved from this concept.

Double Helix

Multiple award-winning composer and pianist Peter Manning Robinson, will be releasing his debut double-CD album titled DOUBLE HELIX with Heart Dance Records this spring on Friday, Sept. 25th. Robinson is the inventor of The Refractor Piano™ and showcases his unique style and original compositions, colors and sounds, which he calls "Refracted Music" on his new release.

"the title Double Helix refers to the two strands of piano music on this album. On one disc are eight very evocative, transformational, solo piano improvisations and on the second disc are eight "Refractor Piano™ music" pieces - a new, innovative way to create immersive, never heard before music using my invention: a "Refracted", acoustic piano. "Like the helixes of DNA, the two intertwined strands of music are aspects of the same musical voice." -  Peter Manning Robinson.
