Pat Metheny, The Orchestrion Tour
Pat Metheny will open then 21 Guitar Festival of Barcelona, on Febrary 21 in L'Auditori, presenting his new project, entitled Orchestrion, in which he develops a new idea: the "solo ensemble”. Metheny alone on stage offers a very special journey with a new technology developed through the work of a complete year, and that forms part of his last album, recorded in this format.
The Orchestrion Project is a leap into new territory. This project represents a recently developed conceptual direction that involves the merging of an idea from the late 19th- and early 20th-centuries with the technologies of today to create an open-ended platform for musical invention and performance. "Orchestrionics" is the term that Metheny uses to describe a new performance method to present music alone onstage using acoustic and acoustic-electric musical instruments that are mechanically controlled using the power of modern technology. The principle instruments, a large palette of acoustic sound-producing devices, have been designed and built to enable Pat Metheny to create his solo Orchestrion.
