Here I have gathered some piano records as if they were memories or perhaps glimpses of the future. From the atomized Iberia of Arrau, with Gaudi colors, to the strange interpretation and the also strange beauty of Michal Saymanowski, we perceive that the piano is no longer just a cultural icon nor an over-elaborate box of impure resonances: it has become the portal of a myriad of other worlds.
