Rock Around the LEGO

The reason I am constantly showing you creative LEGO displays is because they have come a long way since our children played with them. Thanks to technology, Giuseppe Acito, an Italian music producer, was able to put together the “Toa Mata Band,” a quartet that includes several small robotic LEGO figures programmed to play various electronic instruments.

You have to watch the video to appreciate this new kind of electronic music. Bionicle pieces were used to build each band member. Rubber bands and pulleys allow the band member to play an array of different synthesizers, drum machines, and other vintage equipment.

Word has it that the “Toa Mata Band” will be doing a world tour. Dates will soon be announced.
