Welcome to Fake Robot Musicians!

There are more robots playing musical instruments today than ever before. These robots have been worked on long and hard, and there's something special about them. If this sounds like the kind of robot you'd like to hear about, you may want to go here.

This blog is for Fake Robot Musicians. Our goal is not to expose them for the frauds they are, but rather to celebrate their unique non-abilities, and explain why they will never be able to perform "for real."

Robots on this blog will be given a rigorous examination to find out exactly what it is that keeps them from being true performers. To make the cut, a robot must fail one of these requirements:
1) be a robot
2) be a musician

A Robot:
-has a computer brain
-has a mechanical body
-usually appears autonomous

A Musician can be:
-an instrumentalist
-a vocalist
-a composer or songwriter
-a conductor


Stay tuned for Fake Robot Musicians!
