Bestseller! This most requested Pingipung release to date is an ode to the piano. "Pingipung plays: the piano" appeared at a time when electronic music became increasingly aware of its instrumental backgrounds and thus bears various references. Designated specialists of the field such as Hauschka and Adam Butler pay tribute to that wooden chest, examining the links between electronic music production and acoustic piano. But also techno artists such as Lawrence and pop musicians such as Coloma or Robert Lippok & Barbara Morgenstern, and with similar verve. The inner mechanics of the piano are rendered audible through knocks on wood and whirring strings, its plonking and rumbling noises arranged into elegant structures. And when the piano becomes a vessel floating on a beat, and heading for the dance floor, we jump right in.
“What I like about this collection is that despite its lucid theme it doesn´t attempt to offer an academic analysis of what a piano has to sound like.” (foxy digitalis)
