Idea for a surrealist movie: a piano and a Spanish guitar become best buddies and decide to travel from Spain to Ireland. On their scenic journey, they forge strong friendships with a motley crew of other instruments and make merry in the streets, town squares, narrow alleys (and pubs) of Europe.

So far so good, and although we still need to actually sit down and write the screenplay, we've got the soundtrack already: an album of gentle and uplifting European folklore with a natural, organic sound and a broad mix of styles. With some new age piano (and guitar) music thrown in for good measure.
