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. <br />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. <br />The performance was recorded live in July 2014. <br /> <br />This video is only a showcase of my works, it's not for commercial <br />use. <br /> <br />Artwork:Giuseppe Acito <br />Camera: Luca Zanna for ZeD video project <br />Music: Martin Lee Gore <br />Performed: Acito & Toa Mata Band <br /> <br />opificiosonico@libero.it <br />http://www.opificiosonico.com <br />https://www.facebook.com/ToaMataBand <br />https://www.flickr.com/photos/opificiosonico/ <br />https://twitter.com/OpificioSonico <br /> <br /> <br />\\\ Thank you for watching and don't forget to subscribe my channel ///
