The company announced today the crowdfunding campaign for the Automat Toolkit, a plug & play Midi-controller and accessories kit that allows anyone to build awesome music machines using the real world as their instrument. In my opinion, a very cool upcoming music product which allows to compose in a different way than usual and opens a new world of sound design. Looking forward to see more about this.

Who is behind dadamachines?

























Dadamachines is the project of Berlin-based Creative Technologist and DJ – Johannes Lohbihler. Johannes grew up in Bavaria, hailing from a line of seven generations of carpenters. Growing up among the Weilheim music scene that included acts such as the Notwist, Lali Puna and Acid Pauli – Johannes was interested in music from early on. He started DJing and found inspiration to bring together electronic music production and analog tools – combining his background as a cra sman and passion for music. During his masters stu- dies in interaction design, Johannes began developing a simple plug-and-play kit that made music machines accessible to everyone – that project became dadamachines.
