The idea of a strumming by the left hand, of the low strings, selectively sustained by the sostenuto pedal came from a palm hitting technique implemented by pianist Bill Risby. abstract application activated by the pianist’s left hand, of the low frequencies sound was initially played by Sydney pianist Bill Risby, in his improvised piece ‘Native Sky’on the Stuart & Sons CD A New Voice II.
