This would be lovely as a VST instrument for use in Cubase and such...but unfortunately I have now idea how to go about making such a thing. :p Such a haunting sound!
I'm okay with the tuning. Pre-Bach tuning was weirder. I am wondering, though, whether the pedals were depressed or the thumbtacks simply make that reverb happen? Without it, this could sound vaguely like a harpsichord, as I believe this kind of prepared piano was once intended to.
@moskva40 This isn't plated in real time. I sampled each note and pieced them together against a MIDI file in Audacity (a sound editing program). To get the sustain effect I simply didn't chop off the end of a note when another one came in, but let it continue.
People long ago used to spend their time learning to play the piano, now it would seem that people teach their computers to learn how to play the piano, you seem to have mastered this audiobly! Want to do it visually?
I got perfect pitch, this is ok...obviously out but not drastically so

Ummmm
I'm pitch perfect and this is O.K.
It's getting pretty annoyed on how messy the tuning is, but, as I said its O.K.

I love this song, and audacity is awesome. I used it to simulate a crowd of 100's of people using voices only from my dog, my brother and me

I've tried to arrange in Audacity, it is a nightmare I hope to never relive. Doing so, and doing so well, is a great testament to your patience.

A bit of an uncomfortable listen. Quite enjoyed that.
