z-machines, robot band (with tapping)
Ok, so this totally blew me away. All I know is squarepusher had some hand in this, but i think it was these japanese mad scientist's who invented robots that play stringed intruments and real drums ect. Mainly the guitar with like capabilitys beyond human possibiliity.
Well its an interesting mix of feeling 'cold and robotic' with real vibes. At least on the squarepusher track. Some of the club clips in japan are a bit gimmicky tho for sure. Anyway I think this is a huge step of advancement. From like player piano's to synths or ecomputer controlled modules playing back things.
This is the track that is nice introduction as it feels maybe human at first

rabbit utube hole.... This is essential though! a great 'making of' video that rocks
