1. Fun.

I remember Stephen Scott doing a thing like that. Sort of.

Edit: I found a version from '99.

"Bowed" Piano:

2. I never heard of it until a few weeks ago

when Terry Gross was interviewing Trent Reznor about his work on the Draqon tattoo movie

6. I'd like to hear that soundtrack

I thought his score for "Social Network" was excellent.

7. The brief clips they played during the interview

were really moody and cold and creepy...definitely interesting. I wanna hear more too.

4. Prepared Piano and Guitar can be amazing

It can also be repulsive

This was amazing, thanks!

5. We used to put sheets of paper on the strings of a grand piano.

Gave it a rinky-dink tinny ragtime sound.
