Re: Metheny - The Orchestrion Tour

I haven't seen it, but thanks for mentioning it. I just bought two tickets. :)

 

My impression is that he is using MIDI (or some other control protocol) to trigger physical orchestral instruments to accompany him. I'm such a Metheny fan, I've got to see it no matter what...

Hi,

did anyone see Pat Metheny on his Orchestrion-Tour ?

Is it interesting for both loopers and "normal" people?

Iīm thinking about buying a ticket for me and my wife, but

not sure if itīs something for both of us.

I read on Methenyīs website that itīs a solo-performance

using devices to replace other instruments, which sounds

to me like heīs been using kind of a looping device.

Certainly a custom made device built especially for Metheny...

Anyone there who knows more about it?

Best,

Christo
