Absolut Quartet – robotic music machines
Anyone adding one of these to their worship teams? Apparently this is being sponsored and marketed by Absolut Vodka with the question “In an Absolut world, would machines be creative?”
I’ll post some photos and a bit of a description but you should really head over to Make Magazine and watch the video of this thing in action – incredible!
I met up with Dan Paluska (the other maker is Jeff Lieberman) – they have created the “ABSOLUT QUARTET”, an “automated multi-instrumental orchestral machine, a large-scale electromechanical sculpture consisting of three instruments and thousands of parts, working together to create one piece of music. The main timbre is a marimba played by balls shot from a robotic cannon. Other components include a series of wineglasses played by little robotic fingers and an array of robotic percussive instruments”. If you’re in NYC this is a must-see in person (186 Orchard st.).
