Now and Xen Podcast: 088 Kari Ikonen (Maqiano)

Finnish jazz legend Kari Ikonen joins us on Now and Xen to go over the specifics of his new invention, the “Maqiano,” a clamp system that allows pianists to retune individual piano keys microtonally, and quickly, without needing to call a piano technician. For a good idea of what it sounds like in practice, check out his latest album “Al-Bahr” with the jazz fusion ensemble “Wishamalii.” Music: La Eterna Paz [from “Al-Bahr”] Find Maqiano tuners here! https://www.maqiano.com/ New album and other works: https://nordicnotes.bandcamp.com/albu...   / kari-ikonen-trio   https://eclipsemusicrecordlabel.bandc... https://cadillac77.bandcamp.com/track...   / kari-ikonen      / soglato   Support us on Patreon!   / nowandxen   Follow http://nowandxen.libsyn.com   / now_xen     / nowxen   Subscribe RSS: http://nowandxen.libsyn.com/rss iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/n… Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1mhnGsH… Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/nowxen Twitter:   / now_xen   Facebook:   / nowxen   YouTube:    / @nowandxenpodcast   Credit to Paul Erlich and Joakim Bang Larsen for graphics used in this video.
