The Sewing Machine Orchestra

Sewing Machine Orchestra from Martin Messier on Vimeo.

SEWING MACHINE ORCHESTRA IS ENTIRELY ORCHESTRATED WITH THE ACOUSTIC NOISES PRODUCED BY 1940'S SEWING MACHINES AMPLIFIED BY MEANS OF MICROCONTACTS AND PROCESS BY COMPUTER, TACKLES THE LISTENER IMAGINATION PRIMARILY THROUGH THE EVOCATIVE POWER OF THOSE OLD INDUSTRIAL MARVELS. WHETHER THEY REMIND OF SPECIFIC INCIDENTS OR RECALL THE RELATIONSHIP TO SUCH OBJECTS, FEW PEOPLE REMAIN INDIFFERENT WHEN THEY SEE THEM.
