Musical Robots Invade Juilliard

Posted by timothy on from the that's-a-cruel-thing-to-say dept.

roboRob writes "RoboRecital, a recent concert at the Juilliard School, featured four robot performers: GuitarBot, a self-playing guitar; an automated fifty-seven rank pipe organ; a Yamaha Disklavier, a modern player piano; and ModBots, a collection of robotic percussion instruments. This New York Times article and it this Juilliard Journal article discuss it." This beats the band-in-a-box automaton at Wall Drug by a fair stretch.

    I don't understand people who dedicate their lives to this crap, why build a guitar that plays itself when a simple speaker and something feeding it can do that anyways?
