Macadam Piano is technically autonomous and can operate on most terrain except very soft grounds, like a beach of dry sand. If the ground is rough, like a cobbled area for example, the pianist will adapt his playing style to suit the rhythm and vibrations. Macadam Piano can also operate at night and in the rain if it is soft enough for the audience!


The piano goes forwards, backwards, turns on a sixpence, goes up and down hill and negotiates pavements. It wanders on the rhythm given by the musician to animate streets and squares.
It is advisable to plan before the performance the route which the piano will take.
In the case of several consecutive days, locked and secure premises will have to be provided to keep the machine overnight. A 220 volts mains plug for charging the batteries will also have to be provided.
