Testing the boundaries between engineering and art, MASS created a unique musical production, Plot Twist, demonstrating the potential of robots in live entertainment.
Performed at Auckland’s Q Theatre in 2016, the two-hour show starred Mechbass, a robotic bass guitarist, who performed on stage alongside classical guitarist Cheryl Grice, electric guitarist Sean Clancey, pianist Petr Tomek and drummer Sam Holdem.
This multi-genre performance was the first full-length concert of its kind where a robot musician played a central performance role.
