Imagine the Disklavier in the center of the stage, the composer/ performer somewhat distant to the side. Several microphones are put into position not over the strings, but this time at the hammers and keys. Remotely controlled by the composer/ performer, the piano produces constantly rumbled and crackled noises, often very rhythmical, occasionally ringing strings are added on top, or stopping for a few seconds on a chord.
