The performance will feature five pianists rotating among three Steinway pianos with electronics and video art at Pioneer Street.
GRAMMY-nominated pianist Han Chen will participate in the Pioneer Works' program, False Harmonics #28, on Monday evening, October 26, 2026, 8 pm at 158 Pioneer Street, Brooklyn, NY 11231.

Five pianists-Mr. Chen, Arseniy Gusev, Asiya Korepanova, Élisabeth Pion, and Nicolas Namoradze, will circulate among three technology-enhanced Steinway Spirio | r concert grands to present get used to it man thats the way we live now, a new composition by Matthias Kriesberg, written in homage to Alexander Scriabin.
In the first half, radically experimental works by Scriabin are interpolated without warning within the fabric of the Kriesberg work. The performance will be accompanied by electronics by Kevin Larke and video art by Huei Lin.
After intermission, the five pianists open with Scriabin works from the composer's much earlier output. Then follows another version of get used to it man thats the way we live now-radically different, this time for multiple pianos and pianists all in action at once, revealing vastly different harmonies, dynamics and electronic transforms.
