Im still confused about this prepared piano thing. Is it a
special piano you attack stuff to or can you take a normal
piano and do stuff with it?

Prepared piano is traditionally a regular piano that has
been physically alltered. i.e. Say on a grand piano you can
open the top and lay pieces of metal wood across the
strings, de-tuning the strings, interchanging the strings.

This is what richard did but he didn't actually play the
piano, he used CuBase/Logic to trigger the midi Piano.

Are you talking about a midi-grande?

Midi piano's can be hooked up to your computer via midi
cable and programmed to play a pre-determined sequence of
notes, or controlled using a midi controller.

sweet!! that would be awesome then using a midi piano.
have the comp play it for you. thats too cool. I thought
about the idea of drowning all the strings in water (after
covering the inside with plasting) then keeping the whole
peice on sustain. man...so many ideas!! :)

it doesn't have to be a grand piano - an upright would do
