Samson Young’s Carillon includes a prepared Disklavier player piano alongside documents, books, tickets and personal objects. I like the contradiction of a piano playing while the performer is absent. Sound makes the archive temporarily physical again. Paper can describe a past, but a mechanical instrument fills the room with an event happening now. Presence survives even when the person producing it has disappeared.
