“Many Hands” is a series of software interfaces that allow a pianist to shape the unfolding of a range of electronic music resources ­ sounds, processes, events and electronic instruments and devices ­ in response to that pianist’s playing. The software interprets data about real-time performance ­ how fast is the playing, how dense are the chords or clusters, how long are melodic phrases, relative rhythmic steadiness, and basic harmonic analysis.
