No Human Performers
All Music Performed by Computer-controlled Acoustic Instruments RoboRecital, a concert of mechanical music presented by composer J. Brendan Adamson, will include no human performers. It will instead feature four automated instruments: GuitarBot, a self-playing guitar; an automated fifty-seven rank pipe organ; a Yamaha Disklavier, a modern player piano; and ModBots, a collection of robotic percussion instruments. Six of Brendan's own pieces will be presented alongside works by Bach and Mozart. His transcription of J. S. Bach's Die Kunst der Fuge, BWV 1080, Contrapuncti Nos. 2 and 3 will be performed by Guitarbot. W. A. Mozart's Allegro und Andante (Fantasia in F Minor, K.608) will be heard on Paul Hall's Holtkamp pipe organ, controlled by computer. Although several practical editions for human organist have been made, Mozart's piece will be heard in its original form for self-playing organ on RoboRecital.
