Making of Björk's Gameleste

This is really cool! Quoting the Vimeo page: Björk commissioned several custom instruments for the shows surrounding the release of 'Biophilia' - one is a hybrid gamelan celeste; the original steel bars of a vintage orchestral celeste were replaced with bronze tonebars hand-made by UK cymbalsmith Matt Nolan, and the instrument was rebuilt and MIDIfied by Iceland's top organ-maker, Björgvin Tòmasson. This is a 2-minute brief montage of the making of the 'Gameleste' Camera: Andy McCreeth Editing: Andy McCreeth and Matt Nolan Soundtrack Music: Matt Nolan
