____________________________________________________ Kelly Moran
Kelly Moran is a pianist and producer from New York who has spent her career excavating the sonic possibilities of the piano. An accomplished and highly sought-after composer, she has collaborated with an array of visionary contemporaries including FKA twigs, Yves Tumor, Kelsey Lu, Oneohtrix Point Never, and the Avalanches.
As a solo artist, Moran's critically acclaimed albums, Bloodroot (2017) and Ultraviolet (2018) have explored a variety of extended piano techniques like John Cage-inspired prepared piano and exercises in improvisation. Her unique strand of experimental piano compositions, which conjure hypnotizing textures and dramatic compositional arcs, have been included on year-end lists across classical, avant-garde, and metal genres. In 2018, Moran was signed as a Yamaha Artist and began composing with Yamaha’s technologically-enhanced pianos, most notably the Disklavier player piano. Her releases Vesela (2023) and Moves in the Field (2024) showcase deeper sensitivity to the piano, with Moran merging her human restraint with the limitless possibilities of the disklavier. Moves in the Field, was praised by the New York Times for being “a softhearted but steel-skinned set of 10 piano pieces that are as rapturous as a waterfall or as delicate as vapor. Her first album in six years, it is the redemptive conclusion in an extended span of personal tragedy and professional doubt, all ingrained in its sweeping songs.”
