RoboMusic
The word ‘Robots’ conjure up image of stiff human-like machines which carry out tasks according to pre-programmed specifications. Generally, it is quite hard to associate robots with something creative such as music. However, popular remix musician Martin Ottesen also known as Funkstar Deluxe came together with Professor Henrik Hautop Lund to create a new album titled ‘No Man’s Planet’ based on a revolutionizing genre of music that is created using a collaboration of musical instruments developed by robotics. These interactive musical instruments can measure touch and rolling pins that measure rotational acceleration and pressure to create variations in resonance, cut-off, volume and pan of musical tracks in the musical composition.
The inauguration concert of the album ‘No Man’s Planet’ took place as an interactive RoboMusic concert during the Robots at Play Festival on 15th September 2006 in Odense, Denmark.
The most pioneering aspect of this new musical genre is that it makes live concerts interactive for the audience. The audience can be actively engaged in the performance of the music of the concert by interacting with the musical instruments. The robotic instruments have a baseline musical behavior, which is changed upon interaction with the instrument. Interaction with the robotic instruments guides the robotic behavior and thereby creates unique live concert performances that change from concert to concert depending on the preferences and behavior of the audience. For the audience, the concert form has changed from passive listening to active participation in playing the concert.
Each RoboMusic concert becomes a unique live performance!
