Austrian composer Peter Ablinger came up with a way to connect a computer to this piano that analyzes human speech and converts it to key-tapping. It looks pretty great and is reasonably clear considering it’s a piano that’s “talking.” The speaking piano actually recited the Proclamation of the European Environmental Criminal Court at the 2009 World Venice Forum.
I break down this phonography, meaning a recording of something the voice, in this case, in individual pixels, one can say. And if I have the possibility of a rendering in a fairly high resolution (and that I only get with a mechanical piano), then I in fact restore some kind of continuity. Therefore, with a little practice, or help or subtitling, we actually can hear a human voice in a piano sound.
