Band of robots
My friend Ross sent this to me, he saw it over at the MatrixSynth site. YouTube video is via musica95.
A band with a robot guitarist? Pretty cool. A band with a robot drummer? Neato. How about a band with a robot vocalist? That’s pretty amazing. This artist (Maywa Denki) has found a way to create an actual singing robot, consisting of a mechanical bellows and a computer-controlled vocal chord made of rubber. That’s just silly cool. Check out the video.
And check out the lyrics, they’re silly cool as well:
“It always looks like an empty panda”.
“Louise Brown: What are you looking at to dance?”
“Surprise hiccups, la cha cha cha”




Look out for a new State Shirt album coming in early 2008. I have about 15 tracks in the works, most of which were recorded here in my Los Angeles bedroom studio… although I did do a few overdubs with friends out in Massachusetts. I hope to have a few more guest stars as well, some of them will be announced here. Lastly, if I can make it happen I will have an amazing producer make it all sound shiny. And hopefully if I can get my shit together, there just might be a limited-edition EP coming in late ’07 as well. Stay tuned!
