Alighting

Piano Migrations at Lisboa Soa, 2019 from Kathy Hinde on Vimeo.

In which I continue to keep the weird coming for you folks.

Not sure what you'd call this. Prepared player piano? The sound coming from the piano box, whatever you want to call it, is too discordant and erratic for most of us to listen beyond a very short term of time. Still, as a project it's pretty interesting, and it looks fantastic.

I liked it. It reminded me of those occasional moments when my mind
can discover the music in random sounds. You're right it's also a
lovely setting.

Discovering the music in random sounds is a lovely phrase and idea. It's one of the things John Cage believed in. That was the genesis of the piece where the pianist closes his instrument and doesn't play for a set period of time.
