Algodón Piano
An inviting library capturing the rich, immersive tones of an old upright piano, slightly out of tune, blending muted notes with subtle hammer sounds and delicately accompanied by the rustle of turning book pages and the soothing purr of my cat. It is the second release in the 'Algodón' collection, which aims to craft instruments whose tones transport us to a place, a cherished memory, or perhaps even a dream

The story
I went to my grandparents’ house to record their old upright piano, a Karl Schultz. This instrument has belonged to my grandmother since 1950 and to a pianist from Buenos Aires before her.
My goal with this recording was to capture the warm, immersive sound of an old, slightly out-of-tune piano. The blend of muted notes and hammer sounds inspired a homely, cozy feeling, which I enhanced by adding the sound of book pages that I recorded myself in the library of the same house.
Soon after, my cat wandered over, purring, and I couldn’t resist recording her and including her sound in the library.
The result is a warm piano that invites you into a cozy home where the sounds of book pages and a cat’s purring become part of the soundscape, inspiring tranquility and creativity.
“Algodón Piano” is the second library in the “Algodón” collection, which aims to craft instruments whose tones transport us to a place, a cherished memory, or perhaps even a dream.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed recording it!
Felipe Miño.
