Spike Taylor

Spike Taylor is an artist and piano technician based in Montreal and it is during these past 10 years that his artistic practice has turned to piano-based art. His project "Clavicyclette" has been performed and exhibited in a number of Montreal venues (l'Astral, Le National, Église Saint-Jean-Baptiste...) at the 2012 Guelph Jazz Festival and in the Project Glade in New York City in October 2014. His practice reckons with the piano's place in high-low-and-in-between culture as the centuries span and spin away from it's vaulted position at the pinnacle of western culture and the centre of the middle-class home to the curious place it occupies today. He is a registered member of The Piano Technicians Guild.
