Pierre Bastien Live @ Les Siestes Electroniques 2007
The Pierre Bastien's concept is outrageously tantalising : a robotic Meccano orchestra plays an array of traditional musical instruments. Far more agreeable than its Wallace & Grommit origins might have you believed, Pierre Bastien has managed to take a pretty anal concept then massage it into a pleasing conclusion, proving his music can be experimental without immediately sacrificing the listener at the alter of indulgant-bollockius. The resulting sound is one of broken bluegrass, blues and Musique Concrete which combine to create an amazingly cohesive and alluring organic atmosphere.
