For the paper, you can use the Buff stop pedal. Not exactly the same thing as in the video but a bit similar in its principle.

This is a prepared piano where among other things felt has been wedged between the strings, except for the extreme notes which are out of the cage.

This seem to be achieved by shortening the Impendence, Cutoff and String length.

In this clip, the pianos keys are playing against paper:

This got me was wondering how or would it be possible to add various effects to the sound without the need to alter the pianos? For example effects like: wedges, paper, felt, metal sheets, glass, etc.
