Andre 3000 may have pulled off one of the most fashionable product reveals of all time. The Grammy-winning rapper and musician wore a piano on his back for Monday night’s Met Gala and released his latest project, a collection of “piano sketches.” He explained the new music in a post on Instagram. “These piano sketches are improvisations,” the caption reads. “To conjure them up, I spread my fingers out on the keys and randomly but with purpose move them around until I find something that feels good or interesting. If it feels really good I will try to repeat it.” He added: “Some of my favorite piano music composers and players that inspire me are Thelonious Monk, McCoy Tyner, Philip Glass, Stephen Sondheim, Joni Mitchell and Vince Guaraldi.” “These piano pieces weren’t recorded with the intention of presenting them in any formal way to the public,” Andre 3000 wrote. “They were personal, at home recordings. I would sometimes text them to my family and friends.”
