The wonderful Alex Somers had this to say about the Cassamplerette:

Alex Somers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

'The Cassamplerette is the most fun sampler instrument I’ve ever come across... It’s so crusty and beautiful sounding! It’s kind of like an unstable mellotron with the possibilities to be spontaneous and layer sound after sound quickly. Thanks so much to RAR for making this into an instrument!'

"'Glitch Robot' is a robotic music instrument dedicated to glitch sounds. Sounds from the in-between of error and prediction, little sounds that are amplified, small sounds made big. The installation uses old hard disks, metallic tongues, relays and other mechanic devices to create sound textures that are used in electronic music - with robots!

Dates of release: Sept. 2014.
Crew: Moritz Simon Geist (Concept + Realization), Sebastian Piatza, Claudia Lill."
