Ephrem Luechinger augments the prepared piano on his Debut Trilogy "ARE YOU PREPARED" with delay, distortion, and reverb, giving the album a meditative, impressionistic undercurrent, sometimes even bringing his hectic minimalism to a mournful legato. Instruments that sound like harp, melodica, and drums seem to weave in and out of the music, but they're actually the sounds of the prepared piano, either on its own or treated with effects.
