GOLT! – Roland TR-808 Solo

January 1, 2016 · Posted in Uncategorized · Comments Off on GOLT! – Roland TR-808 Solo 

The TR-808 all by itself. No other instruments or sync. The sequencer has this amazing bouncy feel, there’s nothing quite like it. It’s still my favourite drum machine of all time.

MR-808 – mechanic drum robot

November 8, 2012 · Posted in Uncategorized · Comments Off on 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!
