These are pianists who refused the only version of the instrument they were handed.
What connects the artists on this page is not genre, it is restlessness. Koki Nakano building sound worlds at the edge of composition and electronics. Sofiane Pamart turning the concert grand into something that fills arenas. Kai Schumacher playing Julius Eastman until the room doesn't know what to do with itself. Martin Kohlstedt sitting down at the piano and disappearing into it.
