Preparing a piano consists of inserting all manner of objects into it to modify its sonority. This process also modifies the destiny of the instrument, glorified in the 19th century as the
centre of bourgeois musical life and its relationship with the world. To listen to everyday objects is to delve into the strength of the small, the unexpected of the normal. Ricardo Descalzo searches for micro worlds within the piano and invites us to witness his exploratory process in person.
