For tape processed piano sounds. Performer: John S. Gray. From sessions at 24 Noble Street in Toronto, 18/19 February, 1984
VENEZIA was very much a positive response to the unexpected arrival in my studio of the Bechstein B203 piano No. 152948, in the last days of January 1984. I was storing it for the owner in my warehouse studio in on Noble Street in Toronto. Knowing that this magnificent instrument was there only for a short time, I determined to create a piece of music using it alone, without any synthesizers. Various studio processes were used in the recording process, including backwards tapes, double speed and so forth. Originally released on the independent cassette under this title.
