Tripods ONE

In Moritz Simon Geist's techno-robotic performance, "Tripods One," custom-built music robots create every sound live on stage, redefining the techno music experience.

A German musician and artist, Geist uses these robotic instruments to produce distinct, contemporary electronic music. Each machine, from tone generators to sound-producing sculptures, is designed to create dynamic sounds that resonate with modern electronic music structures.

The performance is both a musical and visual experience. Geist's robotic orchestra includes custom-made instruments like a futuristic kalimba, a pneumatic hi-hat, and a drone guitar, adding a tactile and visual dimension to the music. This approach enhances the audience's connection to the sounds they hear.

With a background in electrical engineering and a passion for hands-on sound creation, Geist's work is driven by a desire to interact physically with music. His robotic instruments are crafted using advanced technologies such as 3D printing, CNC milling, and laser cutting. Well-known for multi-million-view videos like the “Popcorn Jazz Robot” and the giant "Drum Robot MR-808," "Tripods One" brings machine music to the dance floors.
