I liked the Swan Piano a lot, it looked so inspiring and also sounded very beautifully, with the reverb from the surrounding façades.

Happy Wed to you. My name is Innocent Adriko, I think I have a beautiful story to share, here goes..

A few weeks ago I was at an open mic event in Soho London, there I met an american band called Tank and The Bangas from New Orleans. After a quick chat with Tank (the leader of the pack) we decided to shoot a quick video of their song (Drummers.)

We needed a piano, I then remembered reading something about the Play Me, I’m Yours street piano art project by Luke Jerram. A quick google search later I discovered a whole army of pianos taking temporary residence at London’s Canary Wharf, and that was were we headed.

We found one of your pianos with a swan on it and started shooting the video. During the shoot I noticed a 2 year old boy who seemed to be way more curious and amazed than most 2 year old boys, it was as if he had just discovered the most amazing thing ever (more on that in a bit). I remember thinking how amazing it must be to see and experience the world through the eyes of one so young.

At the time I was thinking of changing the tagline for my Youtube music channel from “music to your eyes and ears” to "Watch and listen”

Fast forward 24 hours and the following email landed in my inbox:

“ So pleased to have met you all yesterday, it was a magical experience with the children. Our little 2 year olds face was mesmerised by a truly beautiful voice & being able to hear a flute and a piano for the 1st time using his cochlear implant. Truly a beautiful moment of music for his eyes and ears. Bless you all x "

There was no way in hell I was going to change the tagline now, Music to your eyes and ears it remains!
