One of the really fascinating things we got to hear at the OM13 retreat (see entry below) was Elena Kats-Chernin's description of a group of music robots designed by Roland Olbeter. Elena composed a four minute riff for the instruments, Fast Blue Air. These are single-string devices with electronic pickups and speakers at the ends. The string is stretched across a finger board with frets and the mechanism applies pneumatically controlled "fingers", all under computer control.
Robot electric guitars!
Click on the photo to go to You Tube and see the video. It's amazing.
The Del Sol Quartet will play a version of this, Fast Blue Village, at Saturday night's OM 13.
