C'est une prouesse extraordinaire et je suis certain que ça restera dans les anales et l'histoire de la musique dans le monde. Mais voilà ! Mis à part cet exploit et cette performance de jouer avec des machines, c'est mille fois mieux et d'autant plus jouissif de jouer avec des musiciens et amis qui vous entourent. Oui... il n'y a rien de mieux que de jouer avec d'autres musiciens. C'est nettement plus excitant. Love, Phil from Dunkirk
I have followed this imaginable artist since he was a kid. He is definitely in a league all his own. I do truly miss his other half, Lyle Mays. But we still have their music. We (his fans) are thankful for having a chance to live inside his mind, want to thank all of you for sharing his beloved sounds.
Clever way to avoid arguments with the band about what track to play next. This is what happens when a brilliant musician combines musical genius with technology. This project goes well with Pat's "Mad Scientist" hair. Simply incredible.
Saw this performed at UC Berkeley. Totally blown away! It started with Pat on stage with a small mechanical contraption with him on a stool and a acoustic guitar. Then the curtain raised and the whole stage was filled with this huge orchestrion! Absolutely mesmerizing 😀!
I can't get enough of hearing this. I'm really feeling this.. and I love feeling it again and again and again. One beautiful piece of music from PMG.TY
It really is insane how he actually got all this to work...and to sound good. Love Spirit of the Air, and especially love the new life he was able to add to "Sueno con Mexico".
Leave it to Pat Metheny to bridge old school technology with old tech reschooled. He told everyone what his next project was going to be, designing a robotic band they thought he went over the cliff.They thought the music in itself would be stiffulled," robotic sounding".But once they heard and saw what he had created then they heard Pat Methany 's dream come true.I often wonder where his musical sensibilities come from ? But then i think plainly someone's going to do it.May his endless creativity continue to delight our sensibilities .
This is the work of a true genius...a supernatural metaphor of art creation,and a redemeer of the most obscure fears of humanity.A hurricane of hope among troubled times.Thanks for your amazing resilience Sir Pat Metheny!!
I saw this concert at the very end of it's course.I had heard the cd but really did not know what i was about to experience.What an amazing and gifted musician Pat Metheny is.This project was years in the making and it paid off.I had heard on his last concert in London on the encore the whole system did not want to comply.So back to the basics, with Acoustic guitar in hand he finished the show.What wonderful feat of wonder and beauty.Kudos to Pat Metheny and his robots.!!!
As innovative and accomplished this venture was for Pat Metheny... I prefer humans interacting/playing together when it comes to my music. Infinitely more. ...and I've been listening/watching/attending Pat Metheny (...in all formats and settings) since 1978. Chao. Retired Vietnam era veteran, ex Detroiter, expatriate living in México, Colombia, etc....permanently.
I used to go to Underground Atlanta back in the 1970s when they had these huge organs and grand music boxes, and you could put a dollar (4 quarters) in, and it'll play tons of John Phillip Souza music! Pat has always been inspired by things just like that, because his grandfather owned a player piano. So whenever Pat visited Grandpa, the first place he'd run to was the basement where he would play it and watch all the mechanics working. I've always been delighted by them and all those street organs, barrel organs and grand orchestral music boxes, so Pat was just living a dream. I hope he gets to do it again, and I've got a feeling that when he's a grandpa, he'll be doing just that for his grandkids. He's already supremely happy with the project, so it's no surprise that he really enjoyed doing this so much.
A genius in his lair or lab like Tesla...well ahead of his time, while always having a toe or two in the past. We are lucky to live in the era of Metheny, really.
Turn it up very loud while driving the Pacific Coast Hwy Route 1 along Big Sur at sunset...another dimension...🙏🍄🥑🍓🦁this ANKH photo was taken from my windshield on that trip...heaven came to earth : : and ANKHored, bless from Ecuador 🏵️ and AZ🍄🥑🍓🦁🌵🌻🙏
Amazing….I’m sure this was mentioned in the comments- he toured with these marvelous midi -tricked out-machines! I know right?…so grateful I caught the mind blowing show at Music Hall-Detroit. ❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥🙏🙏🙏
Hi Love Pat and PMG and have most of his music and seen him many times ...last was at Ronnie Scotts with Simcock & Oh I understand the Orchestrion concept but i did not witness that Tour -seems too mechanical for me. He is such a talent in his own right with flair , ingenuity, passion , feeling , emotion and downright brilliant guitar playing ..lets keep it that way - Idont want HIM replaced by a Pat Robot !! Still cant believe 299 views??? He is so so underrated and will be a Guitar Bach in a hundred years . Everyone I let listen immediately follows pursuit DJEJ
looks like there's two pianos, two drum "kits" and three tuned percussion sets (vibraphone, marimba, celeste) here but can't see much of when they are used. seems the cymbals must be being played from each of the two "kits" simultaneously because there isn't that much being played on either one.
In a lot ways he did what Parker, Coleman and Coltrain did. Music that is not “acid” ….but trip on it. I hear to how he influenced others…for instance mid-period Porcupine Tree….
The idea and the concept it's pretty amazing, and I imagine to witness it live has to be amazing... But leaves me wonder... We already have machines that produce sounds in a more pragmatic, practical and functional way and less prone to mechanical failures called computers... Maybe in the futurePat could return to this concept again using sequences and software a la Jacob Coiller

This is what happens when the guys who plays the percussionists and drummers thinks he deserve Equal share of the ticket gross income with Pat during concerts. Out they go, Pat doesnt need them all....
I've never quite understood why Pat did this, maybe just to prove it could be done...? Or was he just tired of dealing with real people? The amount of programming and construction must have been immense. I should google his comments on this project and why....

Thanks for your precious words...I share your thoughts
May be the reference to lyle mays will disappear one day…..pat is much more than that, and’probably miss him much more than we do….
An absolute Master Musician.Not only did he compose this piece but he programmed and synchronized all the back up electronic instruments. ❤
Clever way to avoid arguments with the band about what track to play next. This is what happens when a brilliant musician combines musical genius with technology. This project goes well with Pat's "Mad Scientist" hair.
Simply incredible.
The most Steampunk music I have ever seen. Pat is the last musician on Earth jamming with his robot band.
Saw this performed at UC Berkeley. Totally blown away! It started with Pat on stage with a small mechanical contraption with him on a stool and a acoustic guitar. Then the curtain raised and the whole stage was filled with this huge orchestrion! Absolutely mesmerizing 😀!
When Skynet develops excitement it will make this man a king
Thank you for this Jimmy "the tulip" Tudeski. It's the whole nine yards. 😉
Unsurpassed, always up to date, there is no other on this planet!
Pat never stops!!! Always in evolution.
I can't get enough of hearing this. I'm really feeling this.. and I love feeling it again and again and again. One beautiful piece of music from PMG.TY
Was kann man sagen eines der Schönsten Melodien Komposition die es gibt für mich. Und diese Installation Unglaublich.
This is beyond great music. This is great art. A visual wonder, indeed.
It really is insane how he actually got all this to work...and to sound good. Love Spirit of the Air, and especially love the new life he was able to add to "Sueno con Mexico".
Agreed! Sounds much more full. ✌️❤️🇨🇦
Yes, the orchestrion is the best version of Sueno Con Mexico. It is so heartfelt.

And which he has done with his Side Eye project.....so stoked about the new release 10 Sept 2021, and tour!
There is no need for AI on Orchestrion. Just mechanics and computations.
There is an I in Orchestration a nd A in Pat.Compremde amigo
This is the work of a true genius...a supernatural metaphor of art creation,and a redemeer of the most obscure fears of humanity.A hurricane of hope among troubled times.Thanks for your amazing resilience Sir Pat Metheny!!
Saw this live in Cleveland when he toured. Mind-blowing....

My three favorite guitarists are Pat Metheny (jazz), Allan Holdsworth (fusion), and Alex Lifeson (rock).

Il piu grande musicista del mondo ❤
A musical genius at work.
Cada día doy gracias por tener tu musica Pat
Extraordinary piece of art. Amazing.
When I was a kid, I used to go to the library and check out the "Music Minus One " Records...Same thing
Amazing as usual for PM. The scene is slightly reminiscent of Sebastian’s apartment in the original “Blade Runner”.
Such a positive energy! Pat e’ un genio musicale della sua era so fortunate following you since 1985 your concert in Venice-Mestre
Grandissimo musicista. Ho visto parecchi suoi concerti...
Beauteous.

folie totale ! ! ! mais toujours magnifique musique !!! ce sacré Pat !
Wow I really felt that
like his mid/late-80s music on steroids .. wonderful .. it all looks like fun
AI & automation meets musical genius Pat Metheny Wonderfully innovative ! DJEJ
yeah pat in his 'mad scientist'-lab!
saw the orchestrion tour...he and his machines...for nearly three hours!
legend!!!!
Neil Raouf lucky
Joy when you need it the most.
A genius in his lair or lab like Tesla...well ahead of his time, while always having a toe or two in the past. We are lucky to live in the era of Metheny, really.
Bravo Maestro !!!

That sounds amazing!!! ✌️
Grande Metheny!
very nice presentation
Amazing….I’m sure this was mentioned in the comments- he toured with these marvelous midi -tricked out-machines! I know right?…so grateful I caught the mind blowing show at Music Hall-Detroit. ❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥🙏🙏🙏
Wonderful theme, and wonderful experiences! ;)
Genial!
It's Alive!!! Savings on catering was big...Singular Artist Achievement!
I seen live orchestrion and have to say this machinery.... ;) broke in London. Pat continue gig but solo. Still love this album.
Fantastic Pat ...
大好きな曲❤️

Blessed guy
I would like to listen to this with Sanchez, Bona, Pat and Marçal. Thanks, Pat.
LOVE!
Brilliant song! I loved it!
Solo una parola: genio
Can you imagine being in that room?
Astonishing
"MasterClass"
Straordinario Pat Metheny
Eccezionale
The greatest
domo siempre una creacion de maravilla de metheny, lo ingenieril creo no le queda bien pero igual suena fantastico, gracias x compartirlo

LOL... Bot Metheny
No late musicians, only technicians.
O ser humano é substituído por máquinas. ..incrível! A genialidade junto e misturado com a tecnologia. Assustador O que nos reserva o futuro? ??
Pure Genius. Minor Heaven.
Saw this live
Volvé a Buenos Aires Argentina Pat !!!
13 de marzo 2020 en el Gran rex amigo
Genial man music-man
only Pat could have pulled this off .
The feather crown of music
looks like there's two pianos, two drum "kits" and three tuned percussion sets (vibraphone, marimba, celeste) here but can't see much of when they are used. seems the cymbals must be being played from each of the two "kits" simultaneously because there isn't that much being played on either one.
Fantastico
Wouldn't it be crazy if it turned out Pat Metheny ends up being responsible for Skynet
Saw this in the barbican london amazing wonder what he,s done with it since?
Now thats my kinda toy!!
and then there were none.
for real? wow!
I don't see him using any pedals, how does he change the actions of the different instruments?
Now he plays everything alone...
Dentro de poco sobra uno
In a lot ways he did what Parker, Coleman and Coltrain did.
Music that is not “acid” ….but trip on it.
I hear to how he influenced others…for instance mid-period Porcupine Tree….
He is like jamming with AI. Or by one other saying next spirit under and beyond the sky.
The idea and the concept it's pretty amazing, and I imagine to witness it live has to be amazing... But leaves me wonder... We already have machines that produce sounds in a more pragmatic, practical and functional way and less prone to mechanical failures called computers...

i feel like this is the opposite of the point though....
Very Steve Reich inspired!!...
Can it get any better than this?
The ghost of Barbarossa is playing le xylophone
😱
6:10
Of course 6:10 ……. 😉
He sounds better than any guitarist i ever heard. And he doesnt bend strings.
He does bend strings lmao wtf are u saying? 4:18
There is no need for AI on Orchestrion. Just mechanics and computations.
God himself.
Someone pls tell me, how the instruments produce SOUNDs except Pat's guitar?
fusion engines...
Oltre 17 Grammy vinti. Scusate se è poco.
Class apart

Out they go, Pat doesnt need them all....
Those at the highest level do strange things , sorry but the golden period has long gone . Will you play this very often With admiration ?
Really only 466 views and no comments...No wonder Trump got in : (
Amen!
......Triste
Thats why Steve Reich cannot be proud of himself.
huh?
I've never quite understood why Pat did this, maybe just to prove it could be done...? Or was he just tired of dealing with real people? The amount of programming and construction must have been immense. I should google his comments on this project and why....
