The Project

The Wandering Hands Piano Bar is a roving orchestra built around a giant piano built around a Ford F250 pickup truck. The piano is fully functional (via electronic keyboard) and has a bench wrapping around one of its sides for musicians to sit on. We will drive around the playa to search out musical, artistic, vocal, and spoken word collaborators, and create dynamic collaborative music. We'd like to record enough to create a mix or several, and give CDs out on playa on Sunday or via the internet after the festival.

True to its name, the Wandering Hands Piano Bar is also a bar, so we invite those who would like to sit back and listen to the music to climb inside the piano into the central seating area and enjoy a fine concoction from our bartender.

Below you can see a pictorial evolution of the project design.
