Majority of us happen to relate retro with nostalgia. History states before consoles came in; pinball machines were the only solution for entertainment. I am sure you must have come across gamut of pinball machines till date but the Bagatelle Concrete only one-of-its-kind. If you don’t know, Bagatelle was an antecedent of modern pinball designed in France for King Louis XVI and it replicates a pointed billiard table. And now Martin Pichlmair in association with Viennese artiste and canvasser Fares Kayali has made efforts to turn this pinball machine from 70’s into a musical device.

With such a revolutionary creation, it is now possible to listen to your favorite track via a pinball machine. It mocks-up itself and exercises those samples on the center of your game play. The ornamental rudiments of the pinball game have been replaced with digital electronics and installed upon this analogue electro-mechanical machine. The core of the game remains technically untouched and all the buffers and traps are still in place. After all you play for music and not for high score.

The more radiantly you interrelate with the machine, the more intense the vinyl gets. Besides maintaining the coarseness of the electromechanical original game, it deals with integrating physical sounds happening on the playing field with manipulations of their demo. At present, there is no information about its availability but the minute it starts, it would have a gush of people inking deals with such masterwork.
