City Koto Triptych is an audiovisual composition featuring the City Koto, an instrument designed by artist Pim Piët. I recorded improvisations in three closely related tunings and formed the work from this material. The visuals also feature additional imagery of the instrument, creating shifts in the visual scale, allowing for different perspectives on the sound.
