Piano Walk invites participants into an enchanting musical journey, where each key opens the door to a symphonic experience, turning the space into a living canvas of sound and rhythm. Embracing the essence of musical exploration, every key and hammer captures the intricate craftsmanship of the piano, reflecting its beauty in both materials and colours.
This installation features 40 interactive keys and hammers that strike the strings, inviting every participant to step onto the oversized piano and join in a collaborative performance that brings the installation to life. As you uncover the hidden melodies within Piano Walk, it reveals an original composition every five minutes, encouraging you to delve into the wonder and creativity woven into this extraordinary interactive instrument.
Artist: Amigo & Amigo.
Composer: Otis Studio and John McHugh.
