For the Pat Metheny fans, there is an interview about 6 minutes into this link about his latest "Orchestrion" project.  Very cool stuff http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p005mzj3

There is a brief YouTube demo up on his site

All of the performance instruments are sourced from another original instrument in terms of technique and attack, such as a guitar, then played back on the target instrument, such as marimba, piano, etc.   Sort of a player piano for modern times...  Can't wait for the album and tour coming up.

Very cool. Thanks for the link. Can't wait to hear how this turns out.

I must be late to discover itunes radio and maybe everyone knows this already, but there is a Pat Meth station there, for the die-hards, FYI.
