British-Australian composer Roger Dean has been composing for over four decades. He shows us every side of the piano: the depth and width of the instrument, as well as all sorts of things you can do with it. In a series of two episodes, we search for the development in Roger Dean’s work since 1975 and his excursions into electronic music.
