Prepared Piano

Prepared Piano, which first came to life in the mid-20th century, is where avant-garde souls began shoving objects between piano strings to create a soundscape that’s part instrument, part modern art installation. The result is something akin to a cacophony of alien whispers, with tones that can be delicate or downright peculiar, as if the piano has suddenly taken up interpretive dance. It's the sort of music that leaves you wondering if the performer was trying to make a masterpiece or simply lost their hammer in the process.
