In what may be a forerunner to the hippie / robot face-off we ’ve always hoped for , instrumentalist Patrick Flanagan has founded Jazari , a three - part robotic drum circle with some telling grooves . If that ’s not fun enough , it ’s all controlled by two Wiimotes .
Last week we looked atMarv , a robotic vibraphone that banged out an telling rendering of “ Flight of the Bumblebee . ” This hebdomad ’s robotunes come courtesy of an ensemble .

Flanagan wields two Wiimotes to control the rhythm method of birth control , volume , and pitching of the three different drums . The D - launchpad determines which part of the drum is struck ( and thus the audio it form ) while turning the Wiimote side to side controls the tempo of the note of hand and pointing it up and down contain their intensity . Other release allow Flanagan to record loops on the fly and cook those radiation diagram dwell .

Flanagan ’s software even allows the other drums to analyse the vallecula he ’s create and ad-lib their own practice , though he does n’t drop too much time blab about this capability . I recollect , as frontmen often do , he like the ascendancy . [ PopSci ]
