This project was derived in Fort Worth when we came across a semi-rusted out piano just left on the side walk of an old musician’s residence. A piece of notebook paper was attached to it with some tape that said “Free Piano”
Planning begun as soon as we stored it away. We could have restored it at a great cost, but we had a different idea brewing in the hot Texas spring of 2017. We decided on destruction.
We set up the Piano above local traffic on a hill in the backyard of one of our own engineer’s parents’ property. The dense trees that ran down the hill created a nice diffusion from the traffic below. The wind cover was from us being positioned below a retaining wall along with the aid of the tree line.
The sounds were very dry. We knew this would be the case going in, and so we cleaned and tailored each booming hit with some reverb to give the piano a little more of a lively sound.
