Nigel John Stanford I love it
WOW EPIC stuff , well worth the Wait
That was pretty awesome... loved it! Thank you so much!
Left a comment expressing my awe, gratitude and excitement above, but thought I'd leave something here. You are without a doubt one of my favorite composers, and I listen to your music daily. Thank you! It's an honor to experience your craft!
I know most of the guys in the band. I worked with them at the Ford plant.
🤣
underrated comment!
THEY TOOK ER JERBS
That one took me a little longer than it should have. Lolol
Excellent!!!!
This is why Tesla is having production delays. Their robots are busy with their side gigs.
Ha ha ha
Best one so far
@Lakshay Kohli yes but they do use robots like these to build a car
Careful 666 like on ur coment
@@rajeshprabhu5939 7uuuh
I've been to the Tesla factory's, they have lots of robots like this and it's really cool
Would recommend if you can afford it
Where are You Mr. Stanford? The World needs your music.
I thought he is in N.Z.
@@rauxhyde2614 I was referring to the lack of new music.
@@rauxhyde2614 lil bros tism is shining through hahah
6 years later and this still the absolute best music video,
This gives a whole new meaning to the term metal band
Plot twist: it's *c a r b o n f i b e r*
Compressorhead may disagree.
Dont you mean heavy metal
a true music factory
I'm not sure if this guy misunderstood the phrase "Electronic music" or was the first one to get it right...
Stefan Ejegod genius
Quantum robotics?
Less a misunderstanding or getting it right, but more as taking it to the next level.
I think a bit of both. Lol

I watched this video on RUclips 2 days after launch and it was breathtaking. After all these years and listening to it hundreds of times, it is still a masterpiece that is unparalleled.
This guy is a musical, technological, and cinematic GENIUS 😯
people in 2018: *can you share the tabs*

When the machines take over the world, this man will be spared for showing them how to love.
@Михайло Заклецький no
This "man" is a machine...notice his irises at the end (spoiler alert)
Check his iris at some point... if Kuka makes terminators, Nigel is Skynet
They play music with him show
U found the words that i Not found in Ma brain
I work with these guys every day. I didn't know they were in a band. Guess you shouldn't judge a book by its cover.
Bunch of 1 armed musicians. Never thought I'd see the day.
Hihi😂
This music is the embodiment of perfection in robotics
This is an astonishing piece of work.
Make the noise......
He needs brackets for those arms.
Strange to see you guys here of all places. Keep up the good work, your videos are wonderful
In many, many ways.
And you would know. Your work is also astonishing. Music and Fabricating mechanical things. It doesn't get better than this.
First impression: impressive how gently they play without destroying the instru- .... nevermind
because they do exactly what is programmed ...
@@feldartillerie1620 programming a machine that strong to not apply too much strength on fragile instruments is still an achievement.
@@Mernom Quite right the level of coding required too get that sensitivity too only apply enough force too get the instrument too play how you want it is incredible.
@@thestormcraft4012 The robots seem like cgi to me, the way they execute smooth movements looks unnatural

The most inspirational video i have seen in my life. My pursuit of knowledge continues, thank you Sir Nigel
I keep coming back to this, it is a masterpiece of multi-media and a smokin'-hot song.
this song seriously sounds like it should belong in a movie. a frickin masterpiece
Animusic
A frickin pencil ✏ 😅😅
Tron 3, please.
Like Blade Runner?
Could fit in a John Wick action scene.
This looks... expensive
Mr Muscle . Very expensive!
Not when it's rendered ;)
Pretty sure it's not rendered ;)
Well, you only ever see three robot arms. The laser at the beginning is CGI and I'm guessing that quite a few other frames are composited to make it look like there are twnty robots working. I also doubt that he was reallt walking between the robots that way... one bug and he's off to hospital...
@@vinny142
Eh, that's fair
This is just unreal and genius at the same time…beyond imagination. The best video in the history of RUclips.💪🏼🤯
I'll never forget this video, which I first watched a few years ago.
me: i wanna be a musician
parents: but you have to be an engineer!
here we are..
There is a career for engineering sound. So you can have both of best worlds. Haha
Touché XD!!!
Is it a copyrighted song?
For sure it is!
@@amcecchini : yup, by Nigel John Stanford ^^...
Audio engineer ;)
Even after 6yrs this still is an amazing video and jam!
It's 2023 and this gets better with age. The classic terminator vibe and the construction of the whole video is still impressive. We need more of this. A lot more.
2023, I don't think people still appreciate how amazing this piece of music with the robots really are. So good.
Yeah😢
Because we are getting used to this new reality.
It's a masterpiece of engineering and music
I appreciate :)
Mann vs Machine
The irony of a robot using a MIDI kickdrum. Gets me every time.

started in the 90s 😂
how?
@@julkakolbasylka it's a digital signal being sent to a robot to hit an analogue drum so it can be recorded by an analogue microphone pickup and sent to a converter (called and ADC) to be converted back into another digital signal. It's completely unnecessary but utterly delightful
Am passing on to my grandson a listing of all my favorite art, music, etc. This one is going to be listed with an asterisk as in "Top Ten of All Time" and I've been around for 70 years. To even make my list, you've have to have been genius level.
Can’t blame you for it
Share that list! If not all of it, a sampler please 😀
This looks like it was pretty expensive to make and took some time to get everything right. This is the most incredible music video I think I've ever seen. Everything is so perfectly synched- it's a blast to watch!
Good job 47 the money will be wired to your account shortly.

Robots need no drugs no alcohol no sadistic tattoos for becoming a band player but only accurate mathematical algorithms. Humans' majority are a shite load of stupidity.
@@Cyrus-KasperZaagenburg-nn5rg You sound like you could use some drugs though
Oone of tje coolest videos ever produced❤.
Six years later and still just as impressive
After 3 years this is still the coolest video I've ever seen.
Try also “A breath around the world” and “Wintergatan’s marble machine”.
tppoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
I like how the programmer gave the robots small and slow motions when they're not playing. It's most noticable on the piano bots, it looks like they're drifting a bit when not playing. It mimics human behavior, and isn't necessary, but makes it feel more natural.
Underrated observation.
So the robots playing is real? Not CGI?
@@JamesEKing The robots are real. I am the Cinematographer of this music video. I was there. They very much are real...
@@Tcivan if this is the cast then you sir deserve a big round of applause. Well done to you and the rest of the team.
@@Tcivan Theres no way they move that fast, was the footage sped up later to match the music?
I come back day after day. Amazing piece...Hats Off to You Nigel.
Anyone 2024?
I'm here ))

I am here
Checking in
I have no words. This has blown my mind. Having just discovered Mr Stanford's work, I am listening to it all. Absolutely epic. Wow.
Also just checking - are you an alien Nigel? Asking for a friend. This is not earthly music. This is from somewhere better.
Same!
Absolutely awesome bro I can’t believe you’ve done it’s blowing my mind how crazy you’ve done ✅
Truly a Pioneer in this area! Another Prodigy is …. Like August Rush but better?
Looks animated 🤷♂
still gives chills after all these years!
same.
I have to revisit this track every once in a while because I love the tension it builds.
ruclips.net/video/Q3oItpVa9fsA/видео.htmlwesome video! How did you do this video? To get the robot arms and hands down to a micrometer to touch a guitar string just right to make music must be epic! or it was CGI (computer-generated imaging generation!) I don't understand how you did all that! Can you explain please! I'm sure yes! Oh God bless you
After All These Years 😂
Sorry dude, I just found that pretty funny.

It's real mate. You haven't seen one irl
There's a behind the scenes in his channel. Some rough idea.
Dude, i feel the same, kinda scary
Oh wait, my pardon. He showed that he used Maya to control the robots in the piano test, which supports the theory of this video being a fake
I think it's mostly, if not completely, real. Fucking amazing.
Funny memes about robots aside, this actually is a solid masterpiece.

This song is amazing
ABSOLUTELY
I could not agree more.
I came back.its yrs later I’m looking for more….this will do. Thank you
Probably the most innovative and best musicvideo i’ve seen this decade. All my thumbs up. This is really awesome
I am absolutely blown away. I programmed Robotic arms for many, many years, and have been a musician for 45 years, and always wanted to do this. Amazing. Got chills!
It's cgi
It's faked with CGI
@@corbinyoung6979 - The only CGI work are the sparks, laser and post-processing effects. Likely done in After Effects, and some compositing done in Maya, which is also the app used to program the bots. Here Nigel is testing the programming for the bass guitar bots ruclips.net/video/yFUPeXTAY_E/видео.html
@@CoruscationsOfIneptitude It's 100% CGI in the vid sorry. Its clear as day. The first bit with the laser cutter shows that easily. The keys on the piano/keyboard are not being pressed down, the guitar is not being strummed properly.
It's still a very, very impressive blend of CGI with film, but it is not real.
@@CoruscationsOfIneptitude I didn't need to because the video is so obviously CGI any article that says otherwise is lying.
Use your eyes and look for yourself. Look at the little details. The lighting is off on the robots, their movements are off. When they hit piano keys the keys aren't being pressed down etc as I said before.
He might be having actual robots play the music but if so why fake the video?
My favorite is the robot hitting the cymbal
It just seems so angry
What about the Robot Smashing the Piano so hard , it explodes?
It was hoping for more cowbell!
Bagua Gaming well all cymbal players are angry
What about the one playing the synthesizer? It seemed to be doing the most
賛成うん -Hey, you play in a band, right?
-Yes
-As who?
-A Cymbal player
I just discovered this. This is bloody brilliant.
This is the perfect track for anything
Not gonna lie, I would pay to see a robot concert
So
Would
Robots
Compressorhead?
Compressorhead is what you want
I wouldn't .
Would listening to music on your phone be somewhat of a robot concert?
This is insanely sick..
Does it matter?
Again, it's not fake - the robots are real. I don't know why you have this compulsion to lie in multiple threads, unless you're some kiddie looking for attention.
+Tranzation ur videos r Awesome !

This dude is my new-found hero. He takes the most human thing possible, music, and melds it with the least human thing possible.....robotics. Sheer brilliance.
I'd say that rocks or tables are less human than robots. But i understand your point anyway 🙃
Robotics are uniquely human.
@@ominous-omnipresent-they completely agree. Robotics and A.I. are the 'most' human things possible. They will be our final and crowning achievement.
Do you actually think this shit is real? O m f g
music is not "human"
This is the real definition of electronic music.. mind blowing insane.. well done dude..
lemme introduce you to Electronicos Fantasticos :)
It's Fake
@@keysmaster8304 There's CG elements to it. But it's not entirely fake.
Those are actually robotic arms playing instruments. But no, they didn't have a robotic arm shoot a 100 billion watt laser around destroying the set.
I knew mixing those elements of reality and fiction would make it look entirely fake to some people... here you are as proof.
@@odobenus159 Thats right! :)
実に素晴らしい、これこそ新時代のアートだ。才能の塊だね。
Man, your music never gets old
I don't think we can appreciate how much time and effort went into this video. Well done
@@guermanruschke944 How much of it is CGI though. I'd like to see a behind the scenes video.
@@guermanruschke944 the robots playing instruments are real. those robots are made for high-precision factory work, they just need to be set properly. there are some behind the scene videos if you check.
Guerman Ruschke-I believe the only CGI in this video are the lasers, otherwise it’s all flesh and blood...or factory grade titanium and lubricant...
@@guermanruschke944 He shows the robots playing bass and piano in a different video. I do believe however that the footage is sped up so the robots wouldn't apply too much force or malfunction. He also completely removed the dry recording otherwise you would hear mostly squeaks and whirs from the joints.
Guerman Ruschke yes but cgi takes time to animate
I’m a violinist. I was introduced to your music by a group therapist who played your Cymatics video. My heart exploded. I’ve jammed my ass off to your music everyday since then. Love 100 Hunters, Dark Sun, Entropy.... love it all. It really resonates with me. Brings me so much joy and emotional release. Thank you for your music
Yeah me too. Nigel's feel for music composition is totally unmatched by anyone I've heard. Keep it up Mr. Stanford!
You know that feeling when you discover something that tickles your mind and make you smile? Yes! ❤
Somehow this video showed up for me.
Watched it.
After picking up pieces of own cranium and putting them back, showed to wife.
After helping pick up _her_ cranium pieces, we've decided this is fkn cool.
Industrial music has a whole new meaning lol
This isnt industrial music. Only the umans can feel in the music. This is a patetic show

Such a cool video.
I'm a CNC engineer (I work with industrial robots), and they really can do that. The laser thing is not quite like that and is definitely CG, but it's still cool.
Just want to add that there are lasers that powerful, and even more powerful, but they work close to the material as they have to focus on the surface, but in theory you could build a focusing system to get them to do that. Also as you can probably tell, these robots are as fast as they are powerful, and it's VERY dangerous to be around them. They could crush a human in an instant.
Watching him walk through them perfectly timed, made me cringe.
Scary but awesome.
I'm thinking a good portion of these shots (like him walking in between the three arms while they are moving) is CGI.
thanks you answered some questions i had while i dont roll my eyes at CGI because we now live in an age were CGI can make things better and not noticeable and does cut back on budget cost , i wanted to know if the lasers could really do that , but yeah i know what you mean i have seen these robots build a lot of stuff or assist in the building of like cars
@@Btdfightingfires Sorry to say but it's fake..
@@rasmusandersen2007 it may not be fake. In fact it's very unlikely as we have already seen those robots and they are identical to the ones in that shot. It would be downright stupid to do that with CGI when he already had the robots there, not to mention the difficulty and cost of doing so
I have saw this video thousands times over and over but i enjoy it every time.
Good job.
Incredible! I'm deeply amazed, enjoying this wonderful show, every time I watch it.
I've been listening to this music for weeks ! *It's pure genius !* The rhythm, the clip ... *EVERYTHING* IS PERFECT !

First Last link me the article then.
First Last I did search for Nigel Stanford interview but that didn't yield any results. As soon as I saw "the verge" in your comment I opened up google.
I read the article and I'm a little dissapointed. But the music is still good. Now I just don't understand. Are the BTS videos fake too? If not, why didn't he just use the damn robots to play the song in the video.
I apologize for any shit I said to you. Your initial comment just made you seem like either a troll or an asshole.
Way better cgi than 99.99% Hollywood films. Awesome.
it's not cgi
Daniel Montoya yeah, the burning speakers, lasers and falling pillars are real, sure xDDD
Daniel Montoya he wasnt talking about the robots
There's no much computer graphics on this. All is in good lighting, cameras, and real models. The robots are real. They are programmed to play music. So more than 95% is actual video.
And also, CGI is a company name. It is also an acronym in computer world. It means common gateway interface. Using term without knowing can be dangerous. Either use CG or VFX or special effects.
This is just a masterpiece, and nothing else needs to be said.
This is so many musicians/creator's dream. Speechless, underrated, everyone should experience this video
Rise of the Machines, but even better than we ever thought! Excellent job!
3 years have passed and I'm back here again

Truly a performance that even Boston Dynamics would be proud of.
KUKA has entered the chat
Boston Dynamics may just do that, would be nice.
@@redlaz01 not in a 100 years! Sorry they want to present that robotics are advancing with technology but that is a fallacy.
Mmm, not so much.
Supposedly, BD bots are at least fairly autonomous in some of their programming, like keeping balanced and walking from one point to another.
As a robot programmer, I am certain that the Kuka's were human programmed for each discrete motion. They aren't in any way autonomous in the same way that the BD bots are portrayed.
Plot twist, the camera is also held by a robot
Luthfi Eka S. It actually is. It’s called a “motorized slider”. there are some that rotate in 360 and give you smooth camera transitions and movements. They are used in commercials too. So you are right. An “automatic” machine is moving the camera.
Michael Ortega nice info mate. Thanks
Also gimbals, they’re technically robots too.
Wdum it is
Im pretty sure it is bud
