Improvisations
10-4-2013 – Kendall Square – Piano 19
This piano was covered in legos! Very appropriate for Kendall Square. I love it when a spontaneous collaboration happens, too! This guy just walked up and started playing with me 🙂
10-3-2013 – Porter Square – Piano 13
Here are some other images of the 1 Kendall Square Cambridge piano! So cool!
10-4-2013 – 1 Kendall Square Cambridge – Piano 18
This became one of the most cohesive improvisations yet, and maybe it’s because I tried deliberately to leave comfortable diatonic scales behind. I loved this piano. It was covered in decoupaged comic strips, and it reminded me a lot of the decor in The Friendly Toast, which, if I remember correctly, is in the same square…
10-1-2013 – Brattle Square – Piano 8
I found this piano around 6:45am, and it was covered in dew! There was no plastic cover over it, and the keyboard wasn’t closed. I spent a good 5 minutes wiping it off with a towel before I started to play, and then I discovered that many of the hammers were too wet to make any sound!
9-29-2013 – Mass Art (Piano 4)
I didn’t get a good recording from this location, so here’s a picture instead!
10-4-2013 – Harvard Law School (Piano 16), Part 1
This one and the one to follow are a bit more contemplative than the other Boston Street Piano videos I’ve posted so far… enjoy!
10-3-2013 – Piano 12
This is the piano in Davis Square. I met a street musician who called himself “Busker”, and we had nice chat.
10-1-2013 – Piano 9
I found this piano on an early-morning walk around Harvard Square before work, on the Harvard Science Center overpass. Four out of 6 of the pianos I found were still locked at that time, but this one wasn’t!
