Hello friends, My concert of mechanical music, RoboRecital, will
be held in Juilliard's Paul Hall on Tuesday, November 30th, 2004.
It will include no human performers. Four robots will be heard:
Lemur's GuitarBot, a robotic self-playing guitar; an automated 57-rank
pipe organ; a Yamaha Disklavier, a modern player piano; and Lemur's
Modbots. Six of my own pieces will be presented alongside works by
Bach and Mozart.
The concert is free and no tickets are required. For more information,
an MP3 sample, a PDF flyer, and links please visit:

Mari Kimura's article about RoboRecital appears in this month's issue
of the Juilliard Journal. It is accessible online at:
