PercusBot Study No. 1
Troy Rogers · 2007
PercusBot Study No. 1 is the first work composed for this ensemble of computer-controlled, mechanically activated drums and bells (a percussion robot named "PercusBot") created by the composer. When not engaged in performances at weddings, funerals, and bar mitzvahs to earn money for new appendages and objects to strike, PercusBot enjoys exploring dense polyrhythmic textures and fast tempos and making gestures along the continuum between acoustically-produced and computer-processed sounds.
