Piano in the woods

In May 2013 a piano was left outdoors in private woodland near Canterbury, UK. Each month for a year composer Sam Bailey played the piano, improvising in response to the instrument’s changing state. A community of audience members and artists grew around the project and the performances began to involve other musicians, dancers, poets and filmmakers. By the time the last performance took place on Saturday 3rd May 2014 over 50 different artists had taken part in the project.

From May 2024 I will be releasing audio, video, photos and poetry from the Piano in the Woods project each month for a year, leading up to a live show and book launch in May 2025.

The audio has been re-edited, mixed and mastered by myself and Sean Williams and is available at: https://pianointhewoods.bandcamp.com/music
