Hello World Remix
My remix of Hello World’s Mega23 that I made a while back has been published in The Remixes. It stays pretty close to the original, with a dash of 6581 here and there. It’s kind of a big release with remixes by eg Zabutom, Dubmood and Misfit Chris. It kind of marks the end of an era. Or the beginning of an era? I’m not sure.
V/A: Warm Data (Bit Rot)
The robot‘s first song is included in the compilation Warm Data, released by Bit Rot. The robot’s song is pretty chill, but otherwise this compilation is for you who like it a bit rougher and more abstract. Includes artists such as Joss Manley, Irrlicht Project, tMT and Raquel Meyers. There’s not just music but also programs and videos, so go n’ get it now.
Electric C64 Night, Wellington, May 3
A set together with Josh Bailey and his Tesla Coil MIDI-instrument, Chime Red. Also featuring Anna Edgington on vocals. It’s in Wellington at a secret location, so if you want to attend, please e-mail us.
The fantastic PETSCII-poster was made by Tommi Musturi (aka Electric in the C64-scene).

Performing at the Pyramid Club along with Micro Soft Voices and Strange Stains. More info available here.
Video of the Demobit Performance
Here’s me playing live with a C64 and a delay pedal, with live video processing by Zden. It happened at Demobit in Bratislava where I was supposed to be in person but “due to circumstances” was unable to attend. So I streamed the video/sound, which partly explains the dodgy quality.
The performance was made without any preparations. I start an empty tracker and make the instruments and all the music on the fly.
More Robot Music Videos
Enjoy some more proper documentation of robot music. First out is Dr.Step (from Floptrik) that was performed at Algomech last year (second video). Afrikstep was also performed there, but hasn’t been properly released yet. The fourth video is a more chilled clip from our first sessions with the robot at Illutron in the summer of 2017.
Video from Truckstop Alaska
Video of my performance with the robot at Truckstop Alaska last night. You can see how the robot plays the C64 as a piano using Cynthcart, and it also composed its own melodies in defMON.
Filmed by Måns Almered.
Spider Jam in Kirseberg
There was a jam last weekend with the robot, Linde, Jacob Remin, and me. Listen to two snippets here.
