Over the past thirty years Bolleter has explored the timbral possibilities of ruined pianos, as quoted: old pianos that have been exposed to the elements of time and weather thus acquiring novel and unexpected musical possibilities. A piano is ruined (rather than neglected or devastated) when it has been abandoned to all weathers and has become a decaying box of unpredictable dongs, tonks and dedoomps. The notes that do not work are at least as interesting as those that do.
Ross Bolleter has five ruined pianos in his kitchen including the original ruined piano from Nallan Sheep Station, near Cue, 800 km north east of Perth, Western Australia. At Kim Hack's and Penny Mossops's olive farm, Wambyn, near York, Western Australia, Kim Hack and Bolleter developed the Ruined Piano Sanctuary, where some forty pianos are ruining in their own ways, and at their own pace, variously under trees, in dams, and on roofs. Bolleter's CD Frontier Piano, which represents the best of his work from 2007–2014, is almost entirely devoted to recordings of these dying pianos. Each piano in decay is a long-running composition. Death comes to every piano, and dying, each sings a different kind of song.

[Chorus]
I'm your pimp
I wear my hat to the side, and walk with a limp
I'm your pimp
I wear my hat to the side, and walk with a limp
[Verse 1]
Babe, I don't just have to do
You better believe I don't don't don't
'Cause I cheat, scheme and connive now baby
And got everything I want
And oh, don't you talk back to me
You better listen when I speak, yeah
If I wanna curse, slap or hurt you
Just turn the other cheek, because
[Chorus]
I'm your pimp
I wear my hat to the side, and walk with a limp
I'm your pimp
I wear my hat to the side, and walk with a limp
[Verse 2]
My main purpose in life is winning and cheating
You you you, wow
I don't care what race you are
Just as long as I'm beating you you you you you
Let me have all the diamonds and the riches, girl
While I'm alive, yeah
And I guarantee, as soon as you're dead
These things for you will arrive, remember
[Chorus]
I'm your pimp
I wear my hat to the side, and walk with a limp
I'm your pimp
I wear my hat to the side, and walk with a limp
[Outro]
I'm your pimp
I'm your pimp
I'm your pimp
I'm your pimp, I'm your pimp
I'm your pimp, I'm your pimp, I'm your pimp
I'm your pimp
I'm your pimp, I'm your pimp
I'm your pimp, I'm your pimp, I'm your pimp
