Laurence Osborn: Coin Op Automata | Manchester Collective & Mahan Esfahani

Laurence Osborn's Coin Op Automata is miniature clockwork music. In this new commission for Manchester Collective, string quartet and harpsichord are fused together into a musical machine – sometimes jerky, sometimes broken, but always compelling. "I am especially interested in emulating voices which are simultaneously human and mechanical, like the sound of HAL 9000 as he pleads for his life in 2001: A Space Odyssey, the voices of rappers like Future and Travis Scott, or the sound of the harpsichord, whose sound is inseparable from the mechanical means of its production. "Coin Op Automata is a series of little mechanical tableaux, grouped into two movements. Musical ideas are shared between tableaux and between movements, sometimes obviously, sometimes less so. The first movement is made from wooden sounds, and is a series of lurching dances. The second movement is more metallic in sonority. It begins with a melody, sung by a mechanical voice, which is passed between instruments, before going somewhere else." — Laurence Osborn Filmed at Matt and Phred's Jazz Club in Manchester Harpsichord: Mahan Esfahani Violins: Johnny Stone, Donald Grant Viola: Ruth Gibson Cello: Nick Trygstad Film: Jessie Rodger Sound: Joe Reiser --- Subscribe: http://bit.ly/MC-YouTube-Subscribe Website: https://manchestercollective.co.uk Bandcamp: https://manchestercollective.bandcamp...
