AUTOMATICA - Robots Vs. Music - Nigel Stanford 

A huge thanks to all the people who helped me make this record. And thanks to everyone for your patience. I hope you all like it. NigelStanford.com/y/a-/Automatica

I know most of the guys in the band. I worked with them at the Ford plant.

This is why Tesla is having production delays. Their robots are busy with their side gigs.

Where are You Mr. Stanford? The World needs your music.

I watched this video on RU-vid 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.

people in 2018: *can you share the tabs* people in 2019: *can you share your robot arm trajectory*

This gives a whole new meaning to the term metal band

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.

6 years later and this still the absolute best music video,

When the machines take over the world, this man will be spared for showing them how to love.

This is an astonishing piece of work.

This guy is a musical, technological, and cinematic GENIUS 😯

This music is the embodiment of perfection in robotics

this song seriously sounds like it should belong in a movie. a frickin masterpiece

me: i wanna be a musician parents: but you have to be an engineer! here we are..

Even after 6yrs this still is an amazing video and jam!

I'll never forget this video, which I first watched a few years ago.

The irony of a robot using a MIDI kickdrum. Gets me every time.

I'm not sure if this guy misunderstood the phrase "Electronic music" or was the first one to get it right...

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!

I come back day after day. Amazing piece...Hats Off to You Nigel.

First impression: impressive how gently they play without destroying the instru- .... nevermind

Probably the most innovative and best musicvideo i’ve seen this decade. All my thumbs up. This is really awesome

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。

2023, I don't think people still appreciate how amazing this piece of music with the robots really are. So good.

After 3 years this is still the coolest video I've ever seen.

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.

There's something in you that the world needs.🤗

Good job 47 the money will be wired to your account shortly.

This looks... expensive

This is one of the best music video ever. I wish new generation would appreciate more of this creative genius.

Simply Amazing!

When you want to create a band but you remember your an introvert

The dislikes are from the robots who cant play this

Шедевр электронной музыки . Спасибо Вам за музыку и клип. Бесподобно.

This is the perfect track for anything

still gives chills after all these years!

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.

This is just a masterpiece, and nothing else needs to be said.

I am reaching the end of my 45 year long career as an aircraft machinist. I saw NC ( Numerical Control ) machines come into my company in the early 80's. Now they are CNC ( Computer Numerical Control ) machines and the newest models are nothing short of amazing.

Funny memes about robots aside, this actually is a solid masterpiece.

When music was your passion but parents forced you to become an engineer.

You know that feeling when you discover something that tickles your mind and make you smile? Yes! ❤

This is just unreal and genius at the same time…beyond imagination. The best video in the history of RU-vid.💪🏼🤯

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!

"Jarvis, how is your progress?" Jarvis: It's complicated sir.

Incredible! I'm deeply amazed, enjoying this wonderful show, every time I watch it.

When the aliens ask us to take them to our leader, we take them to Nigel.

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.

1980 : i bet there's gonna be flying cars in 2019 2019 : Factory robots doing music

I have watched & or listened to this So many times. Still give me chills. So good!

Nigel, this is brilliant! As a bass player I can tell you I cannot sit still listening, watching, playing this music. Love the drumming and well, everything. I just wa t tbe build to keep going, and going .... Play again, play again, play again...

This is why I pay for my Internet connection ✔

I literally don't know whats real anymore, I'm having a harder and harder time differentiating between computer generated images and recordings of irl objects

I came back.its yrs later I’m looking for more….this will do. Thank you

'23 I keep coming back to this video over the past couple yrs. Truly amazing robotic programming, video editing and cinematic effects happening here 😮 love it and wanted to let u know! 💯🤘

My favorite is the robot hitting the cymbal It just seems so angry

Not gonna lie, I would pay to see a robot concert

It's been 6 years and it's still incredible, 6 years it's my favorite music, no one comes close to you, you are my living God

No humans were bored while creating this video. No humans were harmed while creating this video. No humans were unamazed while creating this video. Such a masterpiece! ❤

"And you always have to do something cool when the beat drops?" "Yes"

This is the real definition of electronic music.. mind blowing insane.. well done dude..

Oone of tje coolest videos ever produced❤.

2023, still one of my favoutites

This is insanely sick..

Producer: Would you like to go on tour? Nigel: Yes. Producer: How many members are there in your band? Nigel: It's complicated.

*PURE GENIUS!!*

I just discovered this. This is bloody brilliant.

I don't think we can appreciate how much time and effort went into this video. Well done

I've been listening to this music for weeks ! *It's pure genius !* The rhythm, the clip ... *EVERYTHING* IS PERFECT !

this number is one of my morning routines to listen to, for years now, thank you for this amazing music

Those arms never knew they had musical talents! Its not who you are but where you are that brings the best out of you!

You did it again! Goosebumps... another masterpiece!

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.

still always come back to this rack. X

You really need to calibrate that laser cutter, bro.

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.

The most inspirational video i have seen in my life. My pursuit of knowledge continues, thank you Sir Nigel

A great musical tech genius.

Plot twist, the camera is also held by a robot

Kid: i want to play in a band Engineer parents: we have band at home Band at home:

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.

I never get tired of this song

Robot: *breaks b a s s* Davie504: NOT E P I C

Industrial music has a whole new meaning lol

I have saw this video thousands times over and over but i enjoy it every time. Good job.

Hands down one of the coolest videos ever made. And that song is amazing!!!

3 years have passed and I'm back here again Still sounds good :)

Rise of the Machines, but even better than we ever thought! Excellent job!

Speechless, a masterpeice, thank you, Mr. Stanford

How have I not seen this??? Wonderful, thank you! :)

Perfect Factorio music :D

This guy Nigel Stanford is a pure Genius...

Been 4 years since I first heard this and I’m still vibing

Timeless masterpiece!

Truly a performance that even Boston Dynamics would be proud of.

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

Love this. This is my #1 favorite even after all these years.

What a beautiful thing! ❤👏👏👏👏👏

Plot twist: Nigel is actually an android built by those robots.
