A Piano that can speak?!?

Austrian composer Peter Albinger has taken recordings of the human voice, and matched the frequencies to that of a player piano. In effect, we are able to "hear" what the human voice "sounds like" as a piano sound. In the video here, he took a child's recitation of the "Declaration of the International Environmental Criminal Court," written by Laureates Adolfo PĂ©rez Esquivel and the Dalai Lama, and has the sound duplicated on a player piano. The video is in German, but has English subtitles. It is rather amazing...
