a very unique musicproduction. Great moment for me to refresh while listening.

Yes, an ordinary, albeit out-of-tune, upright piano, played very slowly at the lowest octaves with the tape sped up by a factor (of something like 3).

Thanks!

THAT IS A GENIUS IDEA!  Wow!  I have to try that now.

Yeah – it’s an interesting technique, and works on all instruments that have a low register. I kind of simulates a lot of physical alterations: The recording space get smaller (lower natural reverb and echo lengths), the strings get shorter and thinner (hence why it sounded more like a harpsichord in this work or a bass guitar can sound like a mandolin etc.) etc. None of that happens with digital time stretch or pitch shifting. With more moderate rates (*0,25 to perhaps *1,5) it doesn’t change the sound too much and is a nice cheat to simulate virtuoso playing.

Thanks!

I hade the same reaction. I thought “that’s a banjo” but then I kept hearing all the very piano-like overtones. Really cool effect!!
