For the ongoing Art=Music=Art series I photographed pianist Alex Koo at Stedelijk Museum Alkmaar.

I really enjoyed his impressive soundcheck that allowed me to take photographs and take in his Bach warming-up. It was very interesting hearing and seeing Alex explore this piano he only just met and to see him getting to know the instrument and the room it was set up in, the way his sound resonated, the piano’s quirks. 

I noticed how he intuitively yet meticulously worked to find the right way of playing, in this unique situation, in order to create the most wonderful experience for the audience during the live set that was about to begin.
