These guys can play the piano in a way you never imagined possible! I hope they don’t do this too often, might start to hurt after a while.

I met up with Dan Paluska (the other maker is Jeff Lieberman) - they have created the “ABSOLUT QUARTET”, an “automated multi-instrumental orchestral machine, a large-scale electromechanical sculpture consisting of three instruments and thousands of parts, working together to create one piece of music. The main timbre is a marimba played by balls shot from a robotic cannon. Other components include a series of wineglasses played by little robotic fingers and an array of robotic percussive instruments”. If you’re in NYC this is a must-see in person (186 Orchard st.).

Duets, by nature, are a corny type of song. Sure, there’s a handful that we recognize here that are also some of best tunes ever recorded, but there’s something inherently cheesy and fun about duets that make them a fun guilty pleasure for millions to enjoy. We’ve put together a list that spans decades and styles that I hope you’ll enjoy. We kept it pretty traditional in the sense that there’s only 2 performers, with only minimal fudging of the rules for some “barely” duets with a full band plus a guest star that still deserve recognition.
