About the song:
Mekanischen Tanz combines repetitive rhythms with simple melodies following a Western Classical style of harmony. The instrumentation is minimalistic and strictly electronic. All lyrics are sung through vocoders and/or generated by speech synthesis.

Main sources of inspiration:
- Vilmos Huszar's Simultaneistic-mechanical dance performed at Dada-soirée, 19 January 1923 (more on Vilmos Huszar:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vilmos_Husz%C3%A1r and on the Dada tour in 1923: http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dada-tournee).
- A certain German group, formerly based in Düsseldorf, which you will have to guess yourself...

Hey, I think I know! Hootie and the Blowfish. amirite?

Nice job. A lot of people are inspired by Kraftwerk but quite often they forget to write melodies. You get points for remembering that aspect of it.

Wow. This was a really nice track. The instrumentation may be fairly minimal, but this song has a really FULL sound on my rokits. I'll try this on the HiFi at the weekend. Great mix too.

Good work

Thanks.

It’s a pretty low tech production on my iphone and stock Apple in-ears. Not so sure it will sound good on a HiFi…

Thanks for listening and I agree with you regarding melodies. The piano was not supposed to be there. It's just a placeholder for another more electronic sound (I usually use the piano sound for composing)...

I just played it on the HiFi. It sounds great.
