This music-video piece denounces the declining state of classical music by throwing a piano into the sea as a symbol of high culture submerging. The experiment focuses a grand piano floating and drifting until it sinks. This video questions the artist's role in today's society and the piano as an icon that submerges, subverted by mass culture.

Recorded live at its premiere at the Carlos Gomes Theater in Rio de Janeiro, 2006.
