I admire the rigid precision of the performances because although such precision is impossible for humans to obtain, it reminds me of what robots in this artwork can&rsquo;t really obtain, portray or evoke: emotional response. I&rsquo;m inspired by the innovation and attention to detail, but I must say that the music didn&rsquo;t leave me feeling a certain way, which in my opinion, music should do. Of course, I don&rsquo;t think the primary purpose of this endeavor was to make music specifically for people to enjoy. I know that the creators used &ldquo;custom build mechanics&rdquo; and Max MSP patches, which lets you connect software and objects with virtual patch cords. Squarepusher&rsquo;s music interests include electronic, jazz and drum and bass. These artistic sensibilities manifested in the ASHURA (the robot drummer that plays over 20 drums). I could hear how the creator included some free jazz elements into the overall technical electronic experience.<\/p><\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Project Title: Music For Robots Year of Creation: 2014 Artists: Squarepusher x Z-Machines I admire how the robots in this project can together create such exciting and layered music because it&rsquo;s wildly entertaining despite sounding admittedly quite choppy.
