Piano for Wild Macaques in Temple, Lopburi, Thailand

Our projects with wild macaques in "Music for Monkeys" playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLzSEchvesNHbtL_0HcUC_tcCGQXjG2gFr

The Fine Arts Department of Lopburi allowed us to bring our piano at Prang Sam Yod, a Khmer-style temple dating from 11th/12th century. The temple nicknamed "Monkey Temple" is home to huge number of wild macaques.

The temple macaque gang are more forward, mischievous and occasionally aggressive to humans than the macaque gang that live at the abandoned cinema nearby. The cinema macaques like to keep their own company, are peace-loving and comparatively shy around humans.

We discovered the reaction of both macaque gangs to piano music was very different.
