Klavikon has been played on NTS in shows including Tafelmusik w/ Francesco Fusaro, featured first on 12 March 2018. Songs played include Oram Her Toye and Angelus.

Klavikon represents an entirely new approach to the piano, drawing on the experimental work of Tudor and Cage to transform the instrument into a factory of haunting, percussive textures. With the use of bolts, screws and assorted electric toys, Klavikon reimagines ‘electronic’ music without the use of conventional processes.

Indebted both to the American experimental tradition and to the postwar European innovations of Stockhausen and Ligeti, the album comprises a suite of brand new, visceral compositions.
