最近 Pat Metheny 在纽约 City Hall 举办了自己 Pat Metheny - The Orchestrion 的两场演出,并开始世界巡演。这个演出可以说是音乐史上最有创意的一次,整个乐队(包括了无数件乐器)全由他一个人控制。主要就是 Pat 本人弹吉它,把信号用midi输出,然后控制所有的乐器。
The Orchestrion Project was filmed in high definition 3D at the former St Elias Church in Greenpoint, Brooklyn in November 2010. It features Pat Metheny on guitar performing with the Orchestrion, a vast collection of mechanical instruments that surround Pat Metheny in this atmospheric setting. The focus of the performance is the Orchestrion Suite , a work written specifically for this combination and debuted on Pat Metheny's Orchestrion album released earlier in 2010. Added to this are other tracks from across Metheny's prolific career going right back to Unity Village from his debut solo album Bright Size Life in 1976 and including other tracks from the seventies, eighties and nineties. This is a unique collaboration between a master guitarist and the pinnacle of mechanical music. The Orchestrion Project was filmed by Grammy and Emmy Award winning directors Pierre & François Lamoureux.
