Authors note:
We were commissioned to make soundtrack for a porn movie...
But then for some unkown reason we got rejected.
___________________________________________________________
Amongst all the instruments of human origin, piano is the greatest slut. Second only to a guitar. It giveth.
It is also the greatest lover an ear could possibly have.
Sometimes it gets rocked by the waves of the transoceanic cruiser, delivering sweet cheese to the elderly.
Sometimes it gets swung in the air, or catapulted instead of an already flung cow.
Other times they use it to teach the old European canon to the absent minded children.
Other times, it gets probed by the curiosities too polite to resist, sticking forks and bottlecaps in it, and it still recieves, it still giveth.
Its bulky torso, its metallic liver, its tongue in cheek, it giveth.
You can kill it with devotion, hit it with a hammer, use it to chop the onions or spread some burned motor oil all over it.
You can paint it green and leave it over night in the garage.
You can master it or ignore it, or make love to it. Or, fuck it, you can just fuck it.
Stick it in. It always giveth.
But sometimes, when the conditions are right, you can approach it with recklessness of caring, and see that it grows flowers.
Who planted them? Was it the piano itself? Was it the builders? Was it the woodworkers?
What kind of flowers are those? Was this piano loved too much or not enough?
Is the photosynthesis an inherent acoustical feature or is it all just a dreamlike jest?
Who is doing this?
Who cares.
As long as it giveth.
And it giveth. It giveth so.
