Frozen Piano
The sound of decay and renewal
Frozen Piano traces a piano’s slow decay in the forest, from delicate crystalline tones to the creak of wood, metal, and nature—a meditative journey of impermanence and transformation.

About the instrument
A piano left in the forest doesn't stay a piano for long.
Wood swells. Metal corrodes. Nature has other plans.
This documents that process and finds beauty in it.
Crystalline tones that gradually become something else entirely.
Snow falling reveals itself on certain keys. Birds in the trees on others.
The wilderness becomes a collaborator not just scenery.
Worth exploring what happens when instruments transform outdoors.
Good for film scores. Good for ambient layers. Good for atmospheric transitions.
Delicate when you need it. Strange when you don't.
Evolving textures with time baked into them.
Sounds that already have a story before you use them.
