WHY A PUBLIC PIANO PROJECT: The PUBLIC PIANO PROJECT supplies forgotten PIANISTS with a chance to play out HUNDREDS of years worth of practicing home alone. It creates momentary beauty, thoughts and ideas that resonates out across fields, parking lots and sidewalks. It invites others to play along and gives way to song and laughter, accidental bonding and new friends; even possibly an ephemeral center of insight and change. Way-out-there scifi poetically speaking: a 5X5 cultural vortex life infusing PIANDORA BOX. The PUBLIC PREPARED PIANO evens the playing field. Non-piano-players can easily perform as well. It actually sounds a lot like a Gamelan Orchestra. There are NO WRONG NOTES. And playing virtuostically fast actually sounds kinda muddy. Slow and hypnotic is best. With a couple people at the keyboard it becomes an INSTANT DRUM AND GONG CIRCLE. Now anyone who wants to has the opportunity to contribute to a more melodic and harmonious world.
