In a world of technology and music dominated by the topic of AI, Hannes Mittermaier “returns to the circuits” with the unique robotic Berlin-based guitarist, Hellga Tarr. The piece “Tabula Rasa”, composed by Hannes, references the relationship between humans and machines and their coexistence. The robotic guitarist plays rhythm guitar alongside the creator of the piece, forming a harmonious duo between two artists who are so different, yet complement each other perfectly.
Hellga Tarr is a female robot created by Markus Kolb, initially introduced as part of the all-robot band Compressorhead, but now performing solo. She plays live on real instruments, with her pre-programmed movements designed to produce precise sounds, creating a captivating performance that bridges technology and music.
The song is an engaging pop-rock instrumental, a five-minute-long piece that flows through sections that differentiate from one another, building a narrative that immerses the listener in its evolving story.
