The piano is an instrument and a machine. An instrument because it emits acoustic vibrations, and a machine because it imposes on itself thousands of mechanical parts to produce them. The computer is a machine and an instrument. A machine because it requires thousands of circuit boards, and an instrument because it makes sounds on its own, digesting those of others. 
Both use the same interface, the keyboard.

Laurent de Wilde (piano) and Otisto 23 (computer) have decided to act on this obvious fact to meet halfway and, using the infinite acoustic possibilities of the piano as the only source of their work, to build a whole new world with it. They rub the plus against the minus, the hot against the cold, the machine against the instrument and manage to tame with their four hands that remarkable source of energy.

In this track, Nico Giemza Tiko(beatbox)with only his mouth and a mike manages to electrify the version of Fly’n’Lips in a ruthless battle against the machine and the sampled piano.
