The legendary guitarist Pat Metheny is put together a full band comprised of robotic instruments to his new album and tour. In CDM have to Orchestrion is a project created by the League of Electronic Urban Robots (LEMUR in English), which the musician came in 2007 with the idea of \u200b\u200bproducing an album and a tour accompanied by instruments entirely robots.
This led LEMUR people work for a year to create 40 instruments, including GuitarBots, mallet instruments and percussion groups. These instruments, along with others created by other groups, form the Orchestrion, a robot orchestra completely under the control of composition and improvisation Pat.
Pat spent most of 2008 writing and recording these instruments, and the result is a new album entitled Orchestrion, scheduled for release on January 26, 2010. In the video, a small sample.
musician How do you justify this adventure that embarks? In its website , Pat explained that "we have had a revolution in music technology that is almost overwhelming. However, at the same time, much as I have excited about the potential orchestral synthesizers and electric instruments in general and even when these tools have improved enormously and continue to develop, the idea of \u200b\u200bbringing a lot of sounds combined into a single set of stereo speakers has never been so satisfying to me as a single instrument in a only discrete amplification system (electric guitar) or, especially, the power of acoustic instruments and sound. "
" The energy of mixing acoustic sounds in the air is incomparable, "he concludes.
