About a block away from the grocery store I go to, someone has thrown out a crummy old upright piano. Twice now — on my way to the store yesterday, and walking to the subway this morning — I saw people tinkering with it, playing it.
It'd be a fun project to get a piano (probably in better shape than the one that is out there) and put it on a street in New York City and leave it there for several days, filming from a nearby hidden location as people interacted with it. The tough part would be capturing the sound, I imagine. I guess you could hide a mic inside the piano, although it probably wouldn't pick up conversation around the piano, which would be part of the fun. If you put the piano near a tree, you could hide a mic in the branches, perhaps. Could be an intersesting art project.
Somebody get on that.
