On Kelly Moran's 'Mirrors,' All Is Not What It Seems

A disciple of John Cage, Moran uses prepared-piano techniques - inserting objects on and between the strings, sometimes playing the strings with her fingers or an EBow - along with electronic-music treatments (she's collaborated with Daniel Lopatin and performed in Oneohtrix Point Never's band on the Age Of tour, and it shows). Time and again on Don't Trust Mirrors, Moran tricks the listener into thinking the main instrument here is harp, which, if you're a fan of Mary Lattimore or Brandee Younger, is a plus. This legerdemain reflects the title's admonition that all is not what it seems.
