Set designer and robot artist Roland Olbeter has created a series of electro-pneumatic sound machines capable of performing entire string quartets.
The first commissioned composition for the robotic instruments was Elena Kats-Chernin’s Fast Blue Air, which takes advantage of the range of noises created by the pneumatics.

Ugly machines, beautiful music.
McKlain - yeah - they are sort of ugly - but they are fascinating like those educational movies they used to have on Mr. Rogers & Sesame Street that took you inside a factory and showed you how loaves of bread or hot dogs were made.
