Autopiano by Phil Cook

This moment is the genesis of what All These Years was to become. Preproduction at Brian Joseph's studio in deep winter Wisconsin was proving fruitful but there were many possible paths emerging. After many days of exploring with sonic effects and piano preparations, we took a much needed lunch break up the hill at his house. There, a broken down old piano stood in his living room. Some of the hammers had been taped back together and most keys didn’t sound great. But damn if the first two songs of this record didn’t come right out in less than 30 minutes. After this, it became clear. Honest sound. Simple sound. Vulnerable vibrations, unapologetic and unfettered, we’re the only way to make this music. Here I share with you a spark. The very moment of creation is here, capturing the sound of an instrument in a house in the wintertime landscape of Wisconsin during a lunch break. -Phil Cook
