Still Waters Posted February 17, 2014 #1 Share Posted February 17, 2014 All-robot band Compressorhead has some competition. British record label Warp Records will soon be releasing an album performed entirely by a three-piece band of Japanese robots called Z-Machines - the guitarist has 78 fingers, while the drummer rocks out with 22 arms. The band's creators teamed up with composer Squarepusher initially to simply explore creating music with the bots, but eventually they crafted an entire five track album. http://www.theverge....ines-robot-band 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Id3al Experience Posted February 17, 2014 #2 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Insane. Although you could get some epic shredding, these robots couldn't produce feeling through there song as human could. Still has a drummer and a guitarist, I would love 78 fingers, and 22 Arms lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you didnt know it was robots, you might think differently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ineffectiveArtist Posted February 18, 2014 #5 Share Posted February 18, 2014 I wonder if it'll be like VOCALOID music. They sound really good, but most of the songs have a really creepy feeling to them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's completely lacking the emotional part, the soul, or whatever you want to call it, of music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

order and chaos Posted February 18, 2014 #8 Share Posted February 18, 2014 I believe that it may take a concept of the vocaloid but lacks what makes it music being what makes it relatable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
