Tripods One

Geist, a German musician and artist, uses these robotic instruments to produce distinct, contemporary electronic music. Each machine, from tone generators to sound-producing sculptures, is designed to create dynamic sounds that resonate with modern electronic music structures.

The performance is both a musical and visual experience. Geist's robotic orchestra includes custom-made instruments like a futuristic kalimba, a pneumatic hi-hat, and a drone guitar, adding a tactile and visual dimension to the music. This approach enhances the audience's connection to the sounds they hear.

With a background in electrical engineering and a passion for hands-on sound creation, Geist's work is driven by a desire to interact physically with music. His robotic instruments are crafted using advanced technologies such as 3D printing, CNC milling, and laser cutting. Well-know for multi-million view videos like the Popcorn Jazz Robot, or the giant drum robot MR-808 Tripods One brings machine music to the dancefloors.

Geist's performances highlight the intersection of creativity and technology. His live shows feature robots orchestrated to produce precise mechanical rhythms, offering a fresh perspective on electronic music. This combination of sound and visuals brings a physical presence to the genre, creating a new level of engagement.
