Squarepusher x Z-Machines - Music For Robots - 12" Vinyl

In 2013, a team of Japanese roboticists was assembled with the challenge of creating a music-performing system that was beyond the capabilities of the most advanced musicians - Z-Machines were the result. The roboticist's musical producer, Kenjiro Matsuo, and his team, invited a number of Japanese composers as well as Squarepusher to develop music specifically for the project. The opportunity to explore the compositional possibilities of a guitarist with 78 fingers and a drummer with 22 arms was a temptation impossible to ignore. The resulting 'Sad Robots Goes Funny' was a poignant and highly praised piece, composed and produced by Squarepusher and performed by Z-Machines.
