Product Description
Pierre Bastien has created an orchestra of robots built from meccano called the mecaniumE which each either a traditional musical instrument, or a lock groove from an old record in a repetitive loop. For the benefit of the listener the ten palindromic titles reflect the way the robots function, they play palindromes back and forth, often with unplanned for results, creating a strange hypnotic swing of wheezy scratchy noises which underpin nostalgic melodies. What is more, his orchestra of Robots is a masterful parody of sampling technology, subverting the music of the current crop of glitch worshippers and acting as an eye-opener for lovers of streamlined digital interfaces.
