![]() ![]() So whether it’s a solenoid (those things plunking stuff) or a motor or anything else that runs on 12 volt, connections are easy. That’s nice, in that there hasn’t been any plug-and-play solution for that. The automat controller box, the brains of the operation, lets you quickly plug in anything 12 volt. If you think of a hardware controller as a way of turning physical input into digital music, this really is a glimpse of what happens when you make digital music into physical output.Īnd the cleverest thing Johannes has done is to nicely productize the core of the system. Now, that might alone be enough – banging things is fun for just about all humans. And yes, the first thing to know is - you can bang stuff with it! I’ve been watching the evolution of Johannes Lohbihler’s dadamachines project as it’s evolved over a period of years. (As my friend Donald Bell so nicely put it, quoted on the Kickstarter here, “tinkertechno.”) Now, it seems that a friendly little niche of electronic music making is poised to open up for robotic instruments. And the result is that musicians separate themselves by making their music special – by practicing and creating something uniquely theirs. ![]() ![]() If you want to make your own, that’s easier than before, too. If you want to customize and modify that, it’s easier than ever before. You can buy a finished one off the shelf. Building them was a technically complicated task, limited to a handful of individuals – most of whom had to keep solving the same basic problem of how to get started over and over again. There was a time when using controllers to play music was still novel. ![]()
