You Can Make Pretty Much Anything an Instrument Using This DIY Robotics Kit

Creators: There's a long tradition of robotic music production, from player pianos and glitchy electronic music of Felix's Machines to the steam-driven "power trio" Z-Machines. Much of the electro-mechanical process, however, remains quite esoteric to most. With dadamachines, a DIY robot music toolkit, Berlin-based creative technologist Johannes Lohbihler wants to make this type of musical creation accessible to just about everyone. A plug-and-play MIDI-controller and accessories kit, which Lohbihler is now crowdfunding, dadamachines allows users to build live automatic shows as well as musical setups for recording.
