Play House is a LEGO + modular synth project, created by Alex Allmont, that generates acid house music.
“Play House is an automata that generates slow hypnotic acid house through mechanisms built from LEGO Technic,” explains Allmont. “This piece was made for AudioGraft 2014, with a commission from Oxford Contemporary Music.”
Here’s a behind-the-scenes video that looks at sequenced music robotics with LEGO:
Thank you!
Very cool, I love how the mechanical elements end up ‘humanizing’ the rhythm with a little physical-world randomness.
