Jetee, that was a wonder of blown margins. With my original view, all I could see was the guy on the left looking for all the world like he was sticking his finger up the ass of the busty young lady in blue. The looks on his and her faces are awesome in their own rights. Add in the "visitor", and that picture is pure win, but definitely worth the hidden side.

Thanks.

I wish the video weren't in German, as I don't understand it. But yeah, I've heard a guitar talk, but never a piano.

i can't wait to have my first conversation with a piano! wow! what an incredibly useful invention!

On a side note, the mustard or other mystery goo on her arm is quite titillating. it looks like there was a lot of squirting involved

Ah, found an article in English about this.

Originally Posted by The talking piano | SynthGear Synth Blog

Peter Ablinger was born in Austria, in 1959. He’s a graphic artist and a student of jazz, and he is a fairly prolific composer. Peter has made it his mission to question the nature of sound, time, and space – the components usually thought central to music.

Now, Peter has done something quite amazing with a piano. He goes beyond notes, beyond noise, beyond composition – he can make the piano talk. Yes, talk.

What he’s managed to do is pretty incredible. Peter analyzed the frequency spectrum of a child’s voice using fourier analysis, and then transferred this frequency spectrum of the child’s voice into his own software on his computer.

He then created a mechanical “auto-player” for his piano that plays the piano keys via midi computer control. His software then assigns keys to the various frequency components of the resulting fourier transform, and uses the piano’s notes to re-assemble the spectrum.

The result is amazing – the piano actually ‘plays’ the voice, much like a vocoder. It obviously isn’t perfect, but if you follow the captions, it’s clear that the piano is ’speaking’.

The voice is courtesy of Miro Markus, an elementary school student from Berlin, who narrated the text for the performance: “Youth as a hope for the older generation.”

Peter says:

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.

Well, the video in the OP is down, but I'm assuming it was some version of this:
