I love that piece/idea/? Feeding the piano, hahaha! Oh wow. This is from the interview he gave, yea?
I'm not sure - I have it in a collection of short conceptual pieces, required reading for a class I took years ago...

How about Young's Piano Piece for Terry Riley #1

Push the piano up to a wall and put the flat side against it. Then continue pushing into the wall. Push as hard as you can. If the piano goes through the wall, keep pushing in the same direction regardless of new obstacles and continue to push as hard as you can whether the piano is stopped against an obstacle or moving.
