Robotic Musical Instruments: The Next Trend in Music?

The League of Electronic Musical Urban Robots (LEMUR) is a Brooklyn-based group of artists and technologists creating robotic musical instruments. Founded in 2000, LEMUR aims to develop instruments that play themselves, such as the guitar bot and percussion instruments. Eric Singer, the inventor of the guitar bot, highlights its advantages over human musicians, including speed and rhythmic accuracy. The guitar bot's independent strings allow for complex rhythms and intervals unplayable by humans. While musical robots offer new ways to create music, they are unlikely to replace human artists soon.
