Here you go:
(from epitonic.com)
"Traditionally, pianos make sounds when a musician depresses a key, activating a hammer which strikes a string and produces a sound. The technique of bowed piano cuts out the middlemen, so to speak: musicians coax sounds directly from the strings, bowing them as if the piano were any other stringed instrument. This approach is similar to the prepared piano technique heard in John Cage work, in which items are attached to or inserted across a piano's strings.

Composer Stephen Scott's bowed piano technique employs rosined horsehair-covered Popsicle sticks instead of nylon bows. The resulting sound has the resonance and harmonic properties of stringed instruments like the cello. When several musicians play the same bowed piano at the same time, it sounds something like a cross between a violin and an accordion.

While the intricate, orchestral pieces on New Music For Bowed Piano may sound digitally processed, they were all recorded "live," as they might be heard in concert. Ten members of the Colorado College New Music Ensemble -- Including Scott -- perform Rainbows, I by simultaneously hovering around and bowing the exposed strings of a grand piano. The result is beautiful but deceptively simple, an innovative approach to a familiar musical instrument."

No, it was the bowed pianos I was referring to. Thanks for the quote.
I've found Epitonic and bookmarked it.

Yeah, it's the same Cynic. Good stuff, I've been meaning to check out some of the post-Cynic Gordian Knot and Aghora stuff...

Any interesting stories?

The singer had really long hair and stood really short, so maybe his hair wasn't that long after all.

Fascinated?

Seriously though, I knew whatshisname(the singer) from the great local scene we had in south Florida, and he was a really cool guy, but I had a hard time getting through the Cynic demo. They seemed to get a little heavier after they toured with Athiest, but back then I was hanging out with Malevolent Creation/Morbid Angel, Obituary and Co alot, and we kinda laughed Cynic down more often than not. The stuff was too..

Well I can't represent in text that garbled noise ppl make when mocking an overactive lead guitarist..hmm..

bugadabobolydubadudoobady..

Nope, that ain't it.

A good story: I got in a heated argument with Glen Benton over the Necronomicon's authenticity & smashed his face in with a beer bottle after they went onstage & started a huge riot that got a club permanently closed down in Boca Raton..
