In Mon robot est un artiste panoplie.org presents, together with other artistic robots by Paul Granjon, Igor Stromajer / Brane Zorman and Will Work For Food, a trendy version of DEP (Deun Ex Pagina) the tube generator made by Jan de Weille.
DEP (Deun means tune in Dutch) composes tunes based on hazard, musical rules and the parameters that you enter in a web form.
Listen to some sound pieces produced by DEP or DEM (Deun Ex Machina) like Tingel Blues.mp3 or Kicks.
“Le compositeur musical devient, à l’aide des cerveaux électroniques, une sorte de pilote appuyant sur des boutons, introduisant des coordonnées et surveillant les cadrans d’un vaisseau cosmique naviguant dans l’espace des sons à travers des constellations et des galaxies sonores que seulement par le rêve lointain il pouvait entrevoir jadis.
Maintenant, il peut les explorer à son aise, assis dans un fauteuil.”
“The composer becomes, using electronic brains, a kind of pilot pressing on buttons, introducing co-ordinates and supervising the instruments of a spaceship sailing in the space of the sounds through sound constellations and galaxies that before only in dreams he could foresee.
Now, he can explore them with ease, sitting in an armchair.”
Iannis Xenakis in Musique Architecture, 1962
