A well-loved upright piano will ‘pop-up’ in Tanunda Town Square\, transforming the public space into a welcoming hub of conversation\, memory and music-making.  \nFamilies and community are encouraged to drop by and play the piano\,  make a time to with Rae about the history of their own pianos — heirlooms passed down through generations\, long-retired instruments gathering dust in farmhouses\, or the piano that sparked a child’s first music lesson. Where possible\, participants can also record a short performance on the pop-up piano.  \nThese stories and recordings will help shape Rae’s ongoing project\, The Piano: Hook\, Line & Tinker\, an ‘exploded-view’ sonic installation that celebrates the beauty and craft of the piano while revealing the sounds and histories within.  \nThe pop-up piano sessions are free\, informal and open to everyone. By sharing your piano story\, you contribute to a living sound archive that honours the Barossa’s musical heritage and its enduring connection to this timeless instrument. \n  \nABOUT THE ARTIST – RAE HOWELL \nRae Howell is an award-winning Australian composer\, multi-instrumentalist and piano technician whose work fuses music\, sound and the environment.

SUMMARY:Open Studio & Soundscape Demonstration\, Rae Howell\, Barossa Women’s Artist Residency
DESCRIPTION:🔎 See the piano like never before!  \nStep inside the studio of Rae Howell\, Barossa’s artist-in-residence\, and watch as piano keys\, hammers and strings become part of a live soundscape.  \nDiscover how Rae transforms a familiar instrument into an immersive sonic artwork in this open-studio demonstration.  \nFree Event – All Welcome.\nPlease RSVP your attendance HERE. \n\nMORE INFORMATION\nAs her residency progresses\, Rae Howell opens the studio doors to share the inner workings of her creative process.
