The Piano Interrupted project was founded by English composer and pianist Tom Hodge and French electronic musician Franz Kirmann. The principal character of Piano Interrupted’s music is the grand piano, whose acoustic capabilities are strengthened by the duo’s computer exoskeleton in the form of electronic rhythms, sound effects, loops and glitches. Invoking the heritage of different musical periods — from romanticism and minimalism to improvisational jazz and techno — Tom Hodge and Franz Kirmann synthesise their own electro-acoustic sound.

In March 2016 the duo will put out their third LP, Landscapes Of the Unfinished, composed under the evident influence of ambient and African music.
