Your right he's made a zillion albums. Kind of like the Steven King of jazz guitar. For an acoustic treat listen to "One quiet night", just P.M. on an acoustic guitar, terrific from cover to cover!

The book titled "This is your brain on music" addresses the dichotomy very well. I think the whole concept of "requiring" a human band for recording is traditional, given the current capabilities in MIDI driven digital sequencing. Pat is demonstrating the ANALOG capability of using the guitar as the centerpiece of the creative process of making music. Andres Segovia said that the guitar is a mini orchestra in itself because you can create any sound that any other instrument can make through it using the right technique. In Pat's Orchestrion, he is making it real. On a side note, my own guitar playing is limited due to a day job, and night time home-studio playing and recording so MIDI through my guitar gives me the band I need to play with and record with in the wee hours. I use purely digital means of slogging through concepts taught in Truefire courses and expanding on these as a hobby. It is truly satisfying to be able to create music without commercial intent. Pat is doing what he wants instead of catering to marketing and commercial music. This is what makes it so unique and impactful.

Metheny will return to making music with humans soon enough. This album is a marvel and the complexity, as you mentioned, is mind-blowing. Absolutely in love with the music of this album.
