Squarepusher explains his new project making music for Japanese robots with advanced musical capabilities and his aim to make them engage emotionally.

Known for playing live bass on stage, electronic artist Tom Jenkinson a.k.a. Squarepusher has long admired the player piano works of Gyorgy Ligeti and the appeal of hearing familiar instruments being played in an unfamiliar way. Jenkinson describes the capabilities and limitations of the music-performing systems and the challenges he faced in making expressive, poignant music.
