A piano in the center of an installtion with 45 other instruments. They are all attached to the keyboard with cords and can be played.

To realize this project, I was given instruments from the Hans and Hede Grumbt collection, which is kept in the musical instrument museum Haus Kemnade in Bochum.
Each key of the piano is assigned a specific sound of a musical instrument. For example a javanese gong, an african balafon, gamelan instruments, various drums, cymbals, bells made of wood or metal, a bone chain, a kalimba, and a wide variety of stringed instruments are used.
The diverse, pluralistic orchestra can be controlled centrally via the piano using cord connections. Each musical instrument involved is limited to a monotonous sound when it is struck with a small piano hammer. But they can played together and a many-voiced edifice of sound can be created.
