Experimental: Inside Music Robots

All times are given in Central European Summer Time (CEST / UTC +2).

The iPhone as the essential equipment of the Home Delivery program can be placed ON the most diverse exhibits and IN the craziest devices to create unique camera shots. In this format we experiment with different camera positions in our exhibitions.

This time our Home Delivery cameras are attending Moritz Simon Geist’s installation Making Techno with Music Robots for an unusual concert. The sound installation consists of robots playing unconventional self-built musical instruments. A snare made of relays, an electronic kalimba or a pneumatic hi-hat produce incomparable sounds. The musician, robotics engineer and media artist Moritz Simon Geist builds all his robot instruments himself. They are connected to a small MIDI keyboard which controls the extraordinary musical instruments. Small piezo microphones pick up the sound to reproduce it via an amplifier. LEDs on the instruments visualize the sound. The result is a futuristic world of sound, which is also visually unique due to the self-made instruments and robots.
