German artist Mortiz Simon Geist brought his one-of-a-kind performance, “Tripods One,” to this year’s SXSW festival. Instead of using traditional instruments or synthesizers, Geist creates music using custom-made “Sonic Robots,” which are each designed to move and create its own organic sound. The result is a unique beat that highlights the future of human-machine interaction.
