    Here's the whole performance.

    Hailun provided the 50 identical model uprights for the performance. They were all tuned 2¢ apart. Moving around the circle, each piano was 2¢ higher in pitch than the one before it. Plus a huge percussion section and strings, etc. I would love to see, no, experience this live. Pity it's only being performed in NY.
