Improvisation #30 - Dying Piano at the Apple Orchard

Created at Logan Brae Orchard, Blackheath, New South Wales

Field Recording (Al Thumm piano)

About: The owner of the orchard showed us a run-down house on the property that was about to be renovated. This old out-of-tune piano was the lone piece of furniture in the front room, looking out the window into the garden.

The recording above is not about the piece of music - which is obviously very rough (I'm by no means a pianist) - but more about the beautiful out-of-tune-ness of this old piano - about that wonderful decay of artificiality back into nature, like vines and tree roots growing over old stone ruins.
