Piano Migrations

The inside of an old upright piano is recycled into a kinetic sound sculpture. Videos of birds are projected directly onto the piano to provide an ever-changing musical score. The movement of the birds triggers small machines to twitch and flutter on the piano strings. In this work, nature controls machines to create delicate music.
