Installation video document.

Ten keys on the midi-controlled keyboard are dedicated to ten videos, one key per video. The original Beethoven work's musical notes are numbered to correspond to the specific finger playing the specific note. Each scored section only encompasses parts for that particular finger, and thus has one video per finger breaking down the muscular interrelatedness of a hand. The participant holds down a key to activate the video playback and corresponding audio from the virtual piano. When the key is released the video goes into pause mode waiting to be pressed again to continue the video and fractured Beethoven.

Pathetic Piano is a multimedia project based on the 2nd movement of Beethoven's Opus 13. piano sonata Pathtique generated by an interactive process programmed through Max-MSP and Jitter. It is a piece for people without any experience in playing the piano to control multiple videos of a piano keyboard via a midi-keyboard and thus take control and create variations of the historic piano work.
