Art Gallery turned video

I took it upon myself to film, edit, and write music for two art galleries held at my school.

The sound behind it

At first, the piano had a nasty tinge from some of the hammers hitting the strings. Even with my foot on the damper pedal, the sound was too jarring. To fix this, I grabbed a thin fabric and placed it between the strings and the hammers. This, combined with the damper pedal, allowed for a very mellow, haunting sound.

Below are some photos of the recording session we had of an old piano. Combining the sounds of this old piano with the art that was filmed in the art-gallery came to an interesting result.

I loved this piano so much I decided to make a short solo-piano album from a 2-hour recording session. Which you can listen to here.
