Lecture Concert - introducing multimedia piano works
I present my on-going project Movement to Sound, Sound to Movement for piano and multimedia, started in 2007. In this project I am in search of a performance, using a variety of keyboards, researching the relationship of sound and movement and the use of technology and interdisciplinarity, often collaborating with composers in the process of creation. I give an overview of the repertoire for piano (including keyboard and toy piano), electronics and video, alongside a PowerPoint presentation. In the presentation, there is much backstage information, for example how a video playback was created, how to practice such a piece, as well as different types of click-tracks and other options to enable piano to synchronize with electronics, all helpful information for composers and instrumentalists.
If interested in a lecture please write me an email written in the contact!

Die Pianistin Rei Nakamura findet internationale Beachtung als Interpretin zeitgenössischer Musik. Sie engagiert sich insbesondere für ein experimentelles und spartenübergreifendes Repertoire. 2007 startete sie das Projekt Movement to Sound, Sound to Movement für Klavier und Multimedia: In intensiver Zusammenarbeit mit Komponist*innen werden multimediale Werkkonzepte erprobt und weltweit aufgeführt.
Im Rahmen ihrer Konzerttätigkeit spielte sie u. a. als Solistin mit dem SWR Symphonieorchester, WDR-Sinfonieorchester und Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin sowie auf zahlreichen Festivals wie Eclat Festival, Festival Acht Brücken, Ultraschall Berlin, Warsaw Autumn (Polen), Sound of Stockholm (Schweden), Klang Festival (Dänemark) und Monday Evening Concerts (USA).
Sie ist Pianistin im Ensemble Experimental des SWR-Experimentalstudios Freiburg und ist darüber hinaus immer wieder auch in anderen kammermusikalischen Formationen tätig. Mit dem Klangkünstler Peter Vogel hatte sie von 2003-2012 das Improvisationsduo für Live-Elektronik und präpariertes Klavier.
I am a pianist and performer —live on stage, with an audience—is at the heart of what I do and who I am. Lately, I have been working intensively as soloist with orchestras such as Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra, RAI National Radio Symphony Orchestra, SWR Symphony Orchestra, WDR Symphony Orchestra and RSO Berlin with conductors as Brad Lubman, Robert Treviño, Yaroslav Shemet, Michael Wendeberg and Bas Wiegers. Those includes premieres of piano concertos by Malin Bång, Christian Winther Christensen and Simon Steen-Andersen.
My on-going project since 2007, Movement to Sound, Sound to Movement, combines piano with multimedia, electronics, and video. Music is also a visual art: my visual perception influences the sounds I produce, just as what an audience hears is affected by what they see in performance. Through this project,,,

PROJECTS
Piano Concerto
Premiering piano concertos have become an important part of my artistic activities. I have premiered Piano Concertos by composers Malin Bång, Wojtek Blecharz, Christian Winther Christensen and Simon Steen-Andersen. Working with the SWR Symphonieorchester, WDR sinfonieorchester and RSO Berlin and the conductors Brad Lubman, Michael Wendeberg and Bas Wiegers have been an incredible experience.
Movement to Sound, Sound to Movement
I work on this multimedia project for piano, electronics, movement and video since 2007. My intention is to create and seek for an entirely new type of performance, both visually and aurally examining the interrelation of movement and sound. I encourage collaborations between composers and artists in order to achieve a diversity of repertoire.

Artistic Research
Bach ohne Grenze - Through an initiative of George Kentros, I have joined the artistic research project with Ida Lunden and Mattias Petersson at KMH (Stockholm University of Music) “Back to the Future” in 2021. We have been questioning ourselves about performance, discussing ideas on how we could perform classical music with non-musical methods to get a new perspective. Bach ohne Grenze is my solo contribution to this project. Film: Kentaro Taki (Click here for the Full Version)
