“I built this machine…”
October 12th, 2008 Posted in music, technology
I love machine/music hybrids. It satisfies my mechanical, geeky, physics-PhD side while also socking it to the right-cortex. Physical parts are hot. Cogs, exposed mechanisms, gears… oh my. This guy — a street performer in Bath, the beautiful town next-door to Bristol, the city of my undergrad days — combines both with a semi-automatic guitar accompaniment to his fiddling:
I built this machine
because of unreliable guitarists
It don’t smoke!
It don’t drink!
And it’s never late.
