Leith Dock

A music machine that responds to social media interaction, designed and built in Edinburgh.

Inspired by early 19th century mechanical bands such as the nickelodeon, Cybraphon is an interactive version of a mechanical band in a box. Consisting of a series of robotic instruments housed in a large display case, Cybraphon behaves like a real band. Image conscious and emotional, the band’s performance is affected by online community opinion as it searches the web for reviews and comments about itself 24 hours a day.

Our words simply can’t do its brilliance justice. Get the lowdown from the inventors themselves below or find out more at Cybraphon.com.
