OT: This musician’s new album was made by industrial robots
Nigel Stanford is a New Zealand musician who creates sound experiments using mechanics and technology. His new album, Automatica, was made by two thin orange boys: industrial robots.
For each instrument, Stanford manipulated the robots slightly to help them play. When the robots play the bass, the one near the body of the instrument is equipped with a guitar pick. When they play the drums, each robot is gripping a drumstick, except for the one playing the bass drum.

Think I saw something similar a few weeks ago, using Ableton Push to trigger robots playing various instruments. Can't wait to see them live, I'll rip of my tool belt and throw it onto the stage.
Pat Metheny did a whole "Orchestrion" tour years ago.
That is very cool! I would love to be in that room and have Mr. Metheny show me how it all works. And one of his robots would serve us lunch. And he would tell me that I’m his best friend and invite me to come on tour with him. And he would give me guitar lessons every day.
AMAZING! But wow I suddenly feel not so smart.
Fantastic.
Thanks for sharing.
