Speaker: Kimiko Ishizaka
Kimiko Ishizaka plays Bach and Chopin: A celebration of makers, and free culture.
Join Kimiko Ishizaka, the pianist who recorded the Open Goldberg Variations, for a journey into the musical worlds of two of the greatest musical geniuses.
J.S. Bach and Frederic Chopin were two of the greatest music hackers and makers of all time. Their works are timeless and continue to thrill audiences and performers centuries after their work was finished. Had either of them had the chance to attend OHM 2013, chances are they would have fit right in, hacking and making new things of wonder and gaining inspiration from the makers they observe.
Their music, in fact all of the great music that we have inherited in the public domain throughout time, is in need of modern electronic editions with free culture licensing, as well as quality public domain recordings that are reference quality and allow hackers to build new things out of them.
It is in the spirit of open source and #copyleft art that Kimiko Ishizaka offers this performance, on a concert grand piano, to all who would record and broadcast it under a Creative Commons (CC BY-NC 3.0) license.
