ROSS BOLLETER (b. 1946, Perth)Musician, poet, Zen master, composer regarded as one of Australia's foremost improvisers. His work has focused on the ruined piano:
“A Ruined Piano is not just any piano fallen into disrepair… The Ruined Piano… has moved far enough away from a working piano to make any traditional repertoire well nigh unplayable, and pretty much unrecognisable, on its keyboard. As a result of the individual history of its decay, it presents an array of unique and resonant sounds both produced at the keyboard, and by reaching inside it, or knocking on its wooden panels.”
