Moritz Simon Geist – MR 808

Let’s get physical: MR-808 is the first drum robot that reproduces the drum sounds of the 80s – in the real world.

The robot installation MR-808 is a replica of the famous 1980s electronic drum machine TR-808 — with robots playing the drum sounds! I (Moritz Simon Geist) have been playing electronic music for several years now, and at some place I was bored of the electronic music production process. With binary logic, everything is possible.
So I decided to go back to the roots of sound generation — the physical sound generation — but combine it with the electronic music structure we like so much.
I liked the idea so much, that I couldn’t stop building my own drum robots, and ended up replacing all the electronic sounds of a whole drum computer, placed in a 3,3 x 1,7m² case. I am very proud to present the “MR-808” — a mechanic replica of the famous 1980s electronic drum machine TR-808!
