Gotta give some respect to Zima and Z-Machines for picking Tom Jenkinson (Squarepusher) to be a part of this project. They could have easily picked some mediocre, super mainstream artist to gain more attention.

This is something extraordinary. We've known for a long time that digital music can be used to create sounds that simply cannot be reproduced by humans, but when the digitization is done at the level of a physical, mechanical machine and playing with organic physical instruments, the possibilities and sounds are endless and mindblowing. Things that are physically impossible are now possible to hear with real instruments, and the idea of this is just flat-out exciting, because it introduces a new aspect to the progression of music in general. I think this is a very underrated idea of what could one day be something as progressive as the introduction off jazz was to music.
@lexxandera8 жыл бұрын
yes, it is interesting. I believe Aphex Twin did something similar on his EP Computer Controlled Acoustic Instruments pt2. But this here is on another level for sure...
@timhofstetter56544 жыл бұрын
You're quite the optimist. In order for this to be part of the "progression" of music, it needs to be persistent... and this will certainly not be persistent. These machines don't produce anything of note or value that is bio-impossible and is still halfway decent to listen to.

I blame the general sort-of cultural wall between Japan and the rest of the world that this project didn't get more media attention. Anyone who has experimented with robotic instruments before will know that the level of precision possible in each of these rigs has no expense spared. This is the craziest, most precise, best sounding robotic instrument rig I've ever seen. Even just building a simple solenoid-driven snare drum is greatly stunted by the inherent mechanical limitations. This is not typically the kind of music that robots make. Aphex's record is much closer to what you'd normally hear from a technical standpoint.

I'd like to see the machines used to recreate some legendary band performances. For example, I'd like to see if the robot guitarist can re-create some of Prince's or Hendrix's shreds with the same emotion they put into their performance, so we get a true human vs machine comparison.

777wanabe I have an idea. Take a modular bridge system like a Strandberg, and give each bridge its own floating system. Assign midi values to bends. You heard it hear first.
@maxproph9 жыл бұрын
But human vs. machine isn't the point I don't think. Even if it were, eventually the closest comparison would just be sound recording and playback via machine vs. hearing a live performance-- you know? eventually, that differences too minute to even perceive would be present that set the machine-oriented sound apart from the human one. And that's just not the idea here. I think this project was about celebrating the idea that while we've already got the ability to blow through 8000 notes a second in the purely electronic domain, that it deserves electromechanical treatment for the sake of being electromechanical. ?
