12,000 pieces of wood, steel and felt - seemingly unsympathetic materials for a piano. The piece explores its construction and deconstruction by assembling recorded sounds taken from these components. These were arranged in an abstract structure of sound objects and juxtaposed against familiar pitched tones performed on a live acoustic piano. The time-lapsed visuals depict an image of a toy piano encased in a melting ice cube.
