ORCHESTRA OF THE DAY! 3-22-11

Ah, the Germans and their love of fine food, fine music, and precision mechanics. I don't know the story behind this video put it seems it was produced by an antisocial composer with a William Sonoma charge card who decided to build their own mechanical orchestra. Sure, it costs more up front but think of all the drink tickets and hotel rooms that person won't have to share.

I do wish the music was a bit more captivating. It would be great if the maker lends it out to different composers that would take the idea and the capabilities a bit further and to more interesting places like those amazing LEMUR folks in NYC.. Until then, here it is.
