RoboRecital

from brendanadamson.com

Thousands of years from now, Robots will look back on this seminal concert and pour out some Mom's old fashioned robot oil in tribute to this concert.

Highlights include GuitarBot (a member of LEMUR - League of Electronic Musical Urban Robots) covering Yesterday by the Beatles and Fantasia in F minor (Allegro und Andante) fur eine Orgelwalze, K.608 (1791). Check them out at the RoboRecital mp3 page

The New York Times said: "Mr. Adamson uses more than Lemur's GuitarBot in his recital, offering several works for Yamaha Disklavier and several studies for a computer-controlled organ. Like the compositions of Conlon Nancarrow for player piano, these works transcend certain technical limitations of human performers. (The instruments, liberated in a sense, can play faster, longer and with greater complexity.) And unlike other species of computer music, they involve automated acoustic instruments played in real time."
