MR-808 – mechanic drum robot
Moritz Simon Geist created the MR-808 – described as ‘the first drum robot that reproduces the drum sounds of the 80′s. The installation is a version of the famous Roland TR-808 – but with robots playing the drum sounds!
Let’s get physical: MR-808 is the first drum robot that reproduces the drum sounds of the 80s – in the real world.
The robot installation MR-808 is a replica of the famous 1980s electronic drum machine TR-808 – with robots playing the drum sounds! I (Moritz Simon Geist) have been playing electronic music for several years now, and at some place I was bored of the electronic music production process. With binary logic, everything is possible.
So I decided to go back to the roots of sound generation – the physical sound generation – but combine it with the electronic music structure we like so much.
I liked the idea so much, that I couldn’t stop building my own drum robots, and ended up replacing all the electronic sounds of a whole drum computer, placed in a 3,3 x 1,7m² case. I am very proud to present the “MR-808” – a mechanic replica of the famous 1980s electronic drum machine TR-808!

Mouse on Mars: WretchUp, an Instrument for iPhone
WretchUp is a unique handheld effect and instrument for the iPhone that anyone can play. Developed by Mouse on Mars, it’s easy to learn, but also sophisticated enough that it’s heavily used in their live shows and new albums. Now with your help, we want to bring it to everyone.
“We’re launching an IndieGogo campaign to support developing WretchUp for all iOS users. (With enough funding, we’ll port to Android, too.) We’ll share exclusive music, updates from the band and development team, and more with backers – plus, of course, the app. And the entire project will be open source, including iOS projects and a free Pure Data (Pd) patch for users of any OS.
Here, Andi and Jan explain what the app is about and how they use it.”
See you on IndieGogo!

Minimoog Voyager XL – Korg Radias – “End of an Era” by Andy Barrow
Background description:
Hi Everyone,
a moody piece using the Korg Radias and the Minimoog Voyager XL. Just 3 tracks in Logic Pro 9. Pads obviously by the Korg Radias – Who said the Radias was “thin” on sound? It maybe Digital, but has some great sounds if you are prepared to spend the time. Bass and incidental sounds, naturally the Moog. The Minimoog Voyager XL needs no explanation, it is such a great powerhouse of sound and so playable, intuitive and just so simply Moog. The legend of the Moog sound and playability lives on with this Synth. One purchase I do not regret, irrespective of the fact it is a Monophonic synth weighing in at over 5 grand Australian, it is such an awesome synth. I would have paid double just to own this synth.
Video was taken on my iPhone 4s at Central Station, in Sydney, whilst waiting for my train to arrive, sitting in my usual spot having a smoke
This is also available on my Soundcloud Page, free download in MP3
