The Electro-Acoustic Piano (EAP) is an ongoing project which supports and promotes new works for piano and electronics. Started in 2009, the project has already commissioned seven composers, and the program has been presented throughout the United States, Canada, Belgium, England. In addition to further engagments domestically, next season the project will travel to Mexico and Germany. In collaboration with the University of Toronto, EAP hosted an international composition competition for new works for piano and live electronics in 2010. The winning compositions - Elainie Lillios's Nostalgic Visions and Adam Scime's Vagues - were presented at the 2011 New Music Festival at the University of Toronto. Kirchoff's first EAP album is now available, and features works by Christopher Trebue Moore, Christopher Jette, Dan VanHassel, Allen Strange, and Roberto Morales. A companion album is due next year and will include the works of Jacob Sudol, Elainie Lillios, Manuel Bonino Medina, and others. In 2010, Kirchoff began work upon a related project: Electro-Acoustic Toys (EAT). This project aims to promote music for toy piano and electronics. So far, six composers have been commissioned. Both projects have an ongoing call for scores.
