088 - Kari Ikonen (Maqiano)

Finnish jazz legend Kari Ikonen joins us on Now and Xen to go over the specifics of his new invention, the "Maqiano," a clamp system that allows pianists to retune individual piano keys microtonally, and quickly, without needing to call a piano technician. For a good idea of what it sounds like in practice, check out his latest album "Al-Bahr" with the jazz fusion ensemble "Wishamalii."

Music: La Eterna Paz [from "Al-Bahr"]
