Hit Me With Your Robot Music
Me and Jacob Remin continue to work more on our multi-facetted Robot Music project. For now, it’s focused on getting a robot arm to perform/remix music live, by typing on a Commodore 64. But the future plans are big, huge and unbelievable. At the moment we have two performances lined up, the first being the Algomech festival in November.
Algorave at Algomech, Sheffield, November 11
The Robot Music project that me and Jacob Remin are doing will make an appearance at the Algorave at the Algomech Festival in Sheffield!
Two Commodore 64s play music. One is operated by a human, the other by a robotic arm. The robot makes melodies, modulates sounds and rhythms, and re-arranges songs on its own, occasionally conducted by a human. The robot also uses other hardware. Meanwhile, the first C64 is operated by a human who has nothing prepared, and who has to make all the sounds and arrangement on the fly.

Sm0gtom80 Live at DATASTORM, September 2
For the past few years I’ve been doing jams together with Sm0hm (aka Simon Mattisson) and his magic wizardry with his weird machines and custom software. We haven’t released any of it yet, but now we’ll perform live at the summer edition of DATASTORM under the well-tasting name “Sm0gtom80”. More info here.
8bitklubben, Copenhagen, August 23
Tomorrow I’m showing a new robot music project I’m working on together with Jacob Remin. It’s at CPH loves Chipwrecked at 8bitklubben in Copenhagen, at the amazing Illutron boat where me and Jacob did a residency last week. Expect to see more of this project in the future, but for now I’ll just leave you with a little gif of this:
