Kelly Moran (b. 1988) is a New York-based pianist, composer and producer who has spent her career pushing at the edges of what the piano can do - through prepared piano techniques, electronics and, more recently, the Yamaha Disklavier player piano. Signed to Warp Records since 2018, she has collaborated with Oneohtrix Point Never, FKA twigs and Bibio, and her 2024 album Moves in the Field won the Best Classical Record award at the 2025 Libera Awards. Her follow-up, Don't Trust Mirrors (2025), marks a return to prepared piano and synthesizers.
The FADER published a profile of Moran in April 2026, noting her two recent albums Don't Trust Mirrors (2025) and Moves in the Field (2024) as highlights of her most transformative creative period.
Don't Trust Mirrors, Moran's follow-up to Moves in the Field, was released on October 1, 2025 via Warp Records, featuring Bibio on the title track.
Moran announced her first-ever US tour alongside European dates in support of Don't Trust Mirrors, running from September 2025 through February 2026.
Moves in the Field won Best Classical Record at the 2025 Libera Awards, presented by A2IM.
In February 2025, Moran participated in the interdisciplinary performance piece Remains/Compound alongside Matthew Barney, Raven Chacon and others, during which archers fired 300 arrows into a player piano she was playing.
