The Digital Kitchen's Stanley Piano Plays Beautifully

— July 19, 2012 — Art & Design
Stanley Piano is the world's first interactive piano responding to Twitter song requests. Created by the award-winning creative agency Digital Kitchen, Stanley is making his worldwide debut at Seattle’s Capitol Hill Block Party. Throughout the July 20-22 weekend, Stanley will be available for to take a request or chat by simply tweeting him. And as he plays, Stanley's parts are visibly moved with his keys, pressing themselves done.

With all song requests welcome, Stanley has an apparent fondness for indie music. Having highly humanistic characteristics, Stanley is kind enough to notify fans when their song is up next. And, for fans who cannot make it out to see Stanley play in person, his performances are being streamed online. The Stanley Piano is definitely something to check out -- mysteriously enough, fans are also asked to see what happens when he is asked to play Freebird.
