Eli Wallace's frst studio solo piano album - pieces & interludes - is a collection of four pieces (compositions) and three interludes in juxtaposition with each other

The pieces materialized from intentional experimentation with specifc piano preparations that came to defne the content and generate the morphology. However, the entire album is improvised; there's no score. These compositions are a framework for spontaneity. The interludes are spliced contiguously from a much longer work and provide contrast to the intense intimacy of the pieces, taking the listener out for a few minutes before dropping them back into the intensity of the next piece. The music directs the listener into the piano, inviting them to share not only the cochlear experience but also the kinesthetic experience of the performer. Therefore, this work is an intimate expression of Wallace's relationship to the piano, an uncompromisingly personal manifesto that encapsulates his lifelong love of the instrument.
