MUSIC FOR ROBOTS (VINYL)

'Music For Robots' is the new five track EP composed by UK's Squarepusher and performed by the three robots that comprise Japan's Z-Machines.


In 2013, a team of Japanese roboticists was assembled with the challenge of creating a music-performing system that was beyond the capabilities of the most advanced musicians - Z-Machines were the result, The roboticist's musical producer, Kenjiro Matsuo, and his team, invited a number of Japanese composers as well as Squarepusher to develop music specifically for the project.


The opportunity to explore the compositional possibilities of a guitarist with 78 fingers and a drummer with 22 arms was a temptation impossible to ignore, The resulting "Sad Robots Goes Funny" was a poignant and highly praised piece, composed and produced by Squarepusher and performed by Z-Machines.
