I don't know that track sorry. If you mean one of the piano
ones on drukqs, he used a "prepared piano", read about it on
www.warprecords.com news section, 2nd (old) page of news,
section entitled, "APHEX TWIN: RICHARD APHEX, JOHN CAGE AND
THE PREPARED PIANO"

Extract:

There’s a lot of piano on Drukqs. Often referred to as the
Ambient tracks or even the Classical tracks. Extremely
pleasant, often slow, with lots of harmonies. Some of the
tracks are straight piano –strotha tynhe, avril 14th,
father – and some have the piano sound altered, offering
metallic rattles, woody clunks and textured thwacks. These
are the classic sounds of the ‘Prepared Piano’, an
instrument invented, in 1940, by the American Experimental
composer John Cage. A piano is 'prepared' by placing small,
everyday objects in the strings. When Cage first did this
the objects were screws, bolts and pieces of 'weather
stripping' (short strips of felt covered plastic used for
draught-proofing windows).

merzbow - 'piano space for marimo kitty'? (has a haunting
sick piano loop running through the track, along with
merzbow noise swirls...)

The piano sections on drukqs sounds very similar to some of
john cage´s work, especially "works for prepared piano".

agreed..

Thank God for the xltronic messageboard. Seeing the topic
"Piano distortion" is probably about the coolest thing that
could happen to me on a Monday morning.
