Pierre Bastien

French Experimental instrument constructor... In 1986 he formed his own orchestra, Mecanium, composed of Meccano machines which play various instruments, such as Chinese lute, Morrocan bendir, Javanese saron, koto, and violin. These machines were often driven by the rotation of old turntables. His music is impossible to classify & because of this i'll just say Experimental, but it's also highly intellectual, playfully childish &  strangely easy to digest.
