Work Stations
TOC ONE
Moritz Simon Geist (DE)
The Music Robot System TOC ONE explores the sound properties of physical objects. It can be used to squeeze sound and rhythms out of almost everything — from music instruments like drums to experimental materials like metal sheets, household items or old car parts. The robotic actuators are mounted on clamps, to be attached in a free manner to surfaces, objects and instruments. They are controlled with standard music systems like Ableton Live or a keyboard.
This project is co-funded by the European Commission’s DG CONNECT, in the framework of the Horizon 2020 programme of the European Union under the S+T+ARTS programme’s Regional STARTS Centers.
