Toa Mata Band - Episode3 (video, which you absolutely have to see)

Video description:

"Toa Mata Band is known as the World's first LEGO robotic band controlled by Arduino Uno which is hooked up to a MIDI sequencer. In this video, the third episode, the robots are playing some unconventional drum-percussions made by some food packaging are captured by a contact microphone (piezo) and processed in real time in the D.A.W. Ableton Live. A brand new device appears for the first time, it's a moving platform on x-axis, made of Lego bricks, gears and servo motors that permits to move with semitones-steps the tiny synth.
The song is a cover of the famous synth-pop band Depeche Mode, it's a personal tribute to the band who made my days in the 80's.
The performance was recorded live in July 2014.

This video is only a showcase of my works, it's not for commercial
use."
