More sculptural drone awesomeness from Stephen Cornford: Extended Piano is
A kinetic sound sculpture. Two guitar strings are attached to two bass strings of an upright piano. Mechanised bows play the guitar strings, whose vibrations resonate sympathetically through the whole piano. The sound is entirely acoustic.
It’s a mesmerizing sculpture, and most exciting for me, it raises some interesting questions about what constitutes a piano: Can you have a piano without any keys or hammers? If you bow it, is it still a piano?
