Composed by Jacob Mühlrad, the piece titled ‘Veer’ explores the new musical possibilities offered by robotics, allowing for the first time a machine to perform techniques that human musicians cannot.
The robot, designed by Fredrik Gran, is equipped with two industrial robotic arms that allow you to explore new sounds and techniques. Mühlrad emphasizes that this collaboration aims to enrich the creative process and, although some criticism has arisen, the experiment has been well received by the public. the robot will perform again in the United States in December 2024.
