Pat Metheny - The Orchestrion Project (2012)

Pat Metheny has reinvented the possibilities of music-making with this endeavor, drawing on a childhood wonder inspired by his grandfather’s player piano. He enlisted innovative creators to craft a remarkable collection of acoustic mechanical instruments, all designed to react to his guitar playing. The result is a groundbreaking, singular method for solo performance, transforming his touch into a symphony of mechanical sound unlike anything heard before.
