Tripods One
Small mechanics and physical tone-generators insides the sculpture produce the noises used in the musical context. The machine envisions a futuristic sound device which plays contemporary electronic music through music robots. In the performance the artist is still present on stage controlling and interacting with the machine.
The installation was build in a broad design process with several design and functional prototypes and the extensive use of rapid prototyping technologies like 3D printing, CNC milling and laser cutting. The installation is the continuation of former music robots by Moritz Simon Geist like the „MR-808 Drum Robot“ or the „Glitch Robot“ series.
