NYFA Queens Arts Fund Recipient 2025
(2025, upright piano, speakers, Raspberry Pi, field recordings, synched projections, album)
Surround Sounds Piano_QNS is a reconstructed piano that lets people play the sounds of Queens, by assigning a different, local loop-sample to each of the 88 keys via a custom software solution. Through the piece, a lasting connection to the sounds of Queens is created, helping people realize the sounds they are making are part of a much larger, diverse, interconnected tapestry.
The piano is accompanied by a photo book, a full length album available through scannable "QNS coins," and chance glitch video ASCII art.
This project is made possible (in part) with public funds from the Queens Arts Fund, a re-grant program supported by NYC Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council and administered by New York Foundation for the Arts.
