German orchestra to be directed by 3-armed robot

German orchestra to be directed by 3-armed robot

To mark its 25th anniversary, the Dresden Symphony Orchestra will be conducted by a robot in a new work at the Hellerau Festival Hall in October.

According to the orchestra, the rhythmic subtlety and cross-tempos of “#kreuzknoten” by Wieland Reissmann cannot be conducted by a human. It requires three arms to achieve the more complex passages.
