Robot Band Compressorhead Seek to Finance a Singer Robot to Complete Their Band and Record an Album Via Crowdfunding
BERLIN, November 16, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --
The robot band Compressorhead is running a crowdfunding campaign on kickstarter.com
[http://kickstarter.com ] to finance the construction of a singer robot and the world's
first robot band recorded rock album.Â
The crowdfunding campaign has been running on the kickstarter platform since the start
of November:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1335681368/building-robot-lead-vocalist-and-producing-first-a
The aim is to enable the first rock album produced by robots as well as the
construction of a singer robot. Their intentions have already attracted so much attention
that they've won over Canadian punk legend John Wright (NoMeansNo) as songwriter and
composer. He will also provide the robot with its voice at first. In total the band needs
around EUR290,000.
It was never an option for the band to depend on a record label for the financing. The
full-time musicians did not want to limit their creativity. Frank Barnes said, "If a label
were to take control, we would be limited in our artistic creativity. We have got so far
on our own, we want to take the next step on our own as well. Just us, our ideas and the
fans." But it would take years, the band say, to finance a singer robot through the small
and irregular gigs. "Without the help of supporters we won't be able to do it," said
Barnes.
Those involved estimate they should release the album in the summer of 2016. They are
planning for it to have 14 songs, which will use the special technical abilities of the
four-armed drummer and the 78-fingered guitarist. If the campaign succeeds they plan to
visit their fans and robot colleagues in Japan in 2017.
