Pat Metheny Introduces "Orchestrion"

In this seven-minute film, Pat Metheny walks viewers through the Orchestrion experience, explaining its origins and performing music from the adventurous solo recording that pairs the composer-guitarist with a phalanx of remarkable, custom-made instruments, played via solenoid switches and pneumatics.

Another reason: Pat is the only guy Chuck Norris will not mess with.

Haven't we always known how brilliant this man is?

Take it easy guys, there was a guy named Zappa who was producing records when Pat was still in diapers. He did some amazing things with a synclavier you should be familiar with by now if your as hip as AmericanDiaz

Pat Metheny is without a doubt the musician with the highest level of knowledge and talent of our time. He is the greatest of this era. If the great master Yoda where a human and played the guitar, he would have an afro kind-of hair style :D

This is the first time I've seen this and what he did on this project. I have always believed Pat Metheny is a genius who writes the most beautiful music. BUT...I still love the songs and music he wrote and played with PAT METHENY GROUP and Pedro Aznar, Nando Lauria, Steve, Lyle and all the brilliant musicians he played with. Nothing like a bunch of talented men getting together to play with their hearts and passion into it. GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS PAT.

For the interested, you can see many Orchestrians at the House On The Rock in Wisconsin. They truly are amazing. Makes me wonder if Pat has visited it.
