Listen to extended interview here: http://soundcloud.com/proaudiostar/taylor-kuffner-home-lab-life
Taylor Kuffner lets us into his work space and talks about his roboticized gamelan dubbed the "Gamelantron" which he uses Ableton to control. He also talks about his desire to create real physical live music experiences through creative means through both his Gamelantron and experiments with multipoint sound installations.
The Gamelatron is built with technology from LEMUR. LEMUR: League of Electronic Musical Urban Robots is a group of artists and technologists who create robotic musical instruments. Founded in 2000 by Eric Singer, LEMUR creates exotic, sculptural musical instruments which integrate robotic technology. The result is computer-controlled mechanized acoustic musical instruments which can perform music by and with human musicians.
