Anomaly. A quick sketch of a scene as it unfolds.

Analog interface drift. I was told that with each analog/manual interface, a small amount of drift or irregularity is introduced. This is a favorable outcome that heightens the appreciation of the music experience.

Robots of the Day: SnarkBots!

Meet the SnarkBots. These guys have a stated goal of introducing “rigidly defined areas of ambivalency.” Or something like that. I didn’t quite catch what they said— I was distracted by the ridiculous smiles they had spray painted just below their eyes. Is this robot comedy?
These buttons will be available at our next event, local retail outlet, and eventually our on-line store.

Oonst-oonst-oonst. The robots tell me they favor the low-frequency vibrations, the physical quality, the percussiveness of experiencing music.

Desert wander. Pushing back the boundaries of the unknown one step at a time.

Just a rainy day here. In this town, the robots seem to make more of a show with color during the dark and gloomy winter months.

Just as all “big things” happen, there was no preface, no hints, at what perception-altering event lay ahead. One moment the dry, dusty emptiness of the tunnel system, and then, in a shallow alcove, evidence of an entirely unknown facet of the robots’ existence. The edge of the map had been unfolded to reveal a terrible landscape.

As practically-minded as they are, the robots have no problem with novel forms of transportation.

A few days later we returned to the tunnel better prepared: more lights, supplies, and a friend. Safety in numbers, right?

Holding up a hand to shield sensors from glare, the robot paused their traverse of a rocky bluff and gazed out over the plains, washed in the red light of the sunset. In the hazy distance, mysterious structures loomed, a decaying arc of particular interest.

As much as there is out in the light, there is probably just as much in the dark. A robot took me down to what appeared to be storm surge tunnels beneath an older part of the city. I didn’t go too far into the tunnel but the robot did not follow me. Strange. They provided no explanation for why they would not venture past the mouth of the tunnel.

Street scene. “Rechargé” (I’d call it a cafe. Sort of.)
