DRUNK HANDS: SUITE FOR PIANO




Drunk Hands
Suite for Piano [EMR-009]


I. Deliverance
II. Security
III. Departure

Three-part album recorded on a public access piano at Preston Market in Melbourne. Piano accompanies the incidental/environmental sounds of the location as midnight passes: security guards saunter, structures creak, fridges enter cyclic defrost, deliveries are unloaded, trains pass, mosquitos meet their electrified fate and occasionally a pedestrian drifts by – yet the quality of deep suburbia asleep is never disrupted.

"[Suite for Piano] captures the strange allure of fluoroscently lit public environments in the dead of night: walkways and thoroughfares passed by millions, suddenly dead."
