A couple of weeks back I was helping a friend turn his basement walls into a musical instrument. They are made out of loose wood paneling and they resonate beautifully, so we screwed up some 2x4s and we ripped some strings out of a rusted and partially dismantled baby grand piano that has been sitting out in the elements partially covered by a tarp for who knows how long.
Every time we touched, struck or plucked this thing in any way the sounds it made were amazing. We kept making comments to one another about how it made sounds like an old Sci-Fi movie from the 40s 50s or 60s. It wasn't too long before one of said that we should make a movie and use that thing for the music and sound effects. The second time that I was mentioned and my friend agreed, I decided that was it. This was going to happen. We were going to make a movie, and that poor piano would be the star!
