Music for Robots
In 2002, Joshua Fried was asked to create music for the GuitarBot,
a robotic electric slide guitar created by the LEMUR collective (League
of Electronic Musical Urban Robots). The response was the 4-minute
Emergency Bot TV Theme, intended to be 1 movement
of a 30-minute suite.

On the strength of this piece Fried won a major grant to complete Music for Robots which premiered April 12, 2004 at Harvestworks.
Underwritten by the American Composers Fourm with funds provided by the Jerome Foundation.
