The short answer: No, I missed it. Or misattributed it to other sources.

The longer answer: I had the reading playing on a set of Genelecs with a 12 string guitar on a chair with the soundhole facing the speakers, behind the workspace was a record player with a decent set of hi-fi speakers distanced fairly closely to my upright piano playing Alan Splet's sound design for Eraserhead. The room itself is all solid concrete and newly setup - and I haven't installed any kind of sound proofing, dampening, or shaping yet - beyond the soundproofed double doors of the studio itself. So between the sympathetic resonance in the guitar and piano from potentially both sources, and the reflections in the room, you could have been playing a drum kit and it could have easily been an artifact of the room itself - it was an intense experience. I listen to a lot of audio, and generate a lot of sounds, like this - aural multitasking I guess.
