about

.soundfullness begins with a piano found in pieces outside of a bar in Queens. We dragged it to an empty lot and reassembled it, weaving objects into the strings and taping simple electronics to the soundboard: breathing new life into an instrument that had been meant for the trash. .soundfullness celebrates the remarkable machinations of the piano by joyfully subverting its conventions: a ubiquitous musical instrument that’s seen alternately as precious or as furniture. We play the piano and play with the piano to rediscover sound and the mechanics that make sound. We invite the public to share in these experiments and play: to literally get under the hood and tinker; to stuff a bolt in the strings and tickle the ivories.

Both Doug and Nicole are internationally accomplished in their individual careers. They formed the .soundfullness partnership around a shared love of sonic discovery, an impulse to create outside of institutional contexts with non-artists, and a desire to make contemporary and challenging work.
