Luciano created a techno symphony

Lately, everyone has become obsessed with orchestras with robots; in music one can hardly think of anything more fashionable than replacing people with “mechanical hands.” Therefore, Chilean producer Luciano decided to surprise everyone with his new project and created a semi-automated techno symphony. \nHaving debuted at the Spanish Monegro festival, the live performance project called “Æther” received a huge number of reviews. Luciano was joined in this effort by Cadenza partners Reboot, Mirko Loco, Lee Van Dowski and Digitaline. Forming a strange semicircle on the stage, the musicians spewed melodies and heavy bass from their laptops. The creator himself received the music on his touch-screen monitor and, having processed it, threw it into the hall... a recording from the concert can be seen in this video:Judging by the comments on Beatport, Luciano’s new experiment “Æther” is still in development, but the upcoming Creamfields\xa0and Electric Picnic festivals will show us how successful this idea is. \nNote that the Finnish artist Jori Hulkkonen with the “Acid Symphony Orchestra” had worked on implementing an identical idea a little earlier. He built a special machine that could simultaneously synchronize ten Roland TB-303 synthesizers.
