Let’s face it, Robots will eventually take over; it’s just a matter of time. They might look silly, doing some kind of funny dance, playing soccer, performing their daily pick and place routine in factories, or helping us to win or lose wars, but, their combination of artificial intelligence, neuro-biology, and
computer science will make them irresistible.
In the past two thousand years people have tried to build humanoid machines, sometimes with magic (Rabbi Loew’s Golem) and sometimes with mechanics. Though the results have often looked spooky or ridiculous, they’re proof of our obsession with emulating creation. These days, humanoid robots have become just a small facet of robot science, but they remain intriguing and seductive.
Robert Lippok’s Robot ep is a portrait of the euphoria and naivety of 20th century robot science. Throughout the ep he uses the technology and the spirit of early 90’s techno in combination with field recordings and a sense for romantic melodies to explore and elucidate our relationship and fascination with robots.
"Colorful music, intimate and sweet, all with a poppy touch. Great stuff indeed."
" The music's underwater, oceanic attributes are perfect for a day in the tub, lounging in your temperature-controlled environment, dreaming of a swim" – Pitchfork
"one of the best indie-electronica crossover albums I have ever heard." – Foxy Digitalis
"a record that sings its inventiveness to the torpid movement of a warm sun-filled afternoon..." –Igloo Magazine
"As short as it may be, Open Close Open holds a lot of artistic beauty in its bytes." – All
