Robocobra Quartet is preparing to release the album Hundred Pieces, a five-hour musical adventure arriving November 13. The album was made with 100 songs, and every note was created without artificial intelligence. Robocobra Quartet is a Belfast experimental collective, and drummer and vocalist Chris W Ryan leads the band.
The band was inspired by performance artist Marina Abramović and her memoir Walk Through Walls. Saxophonist Thibault Barillon grew fungus in petri dishes to create visual material for the album. Songs such as Haha and Nothing sit alongside Gilded and Ashes Again on the album.
The band performed at the Montreux Jazz Festival after releasing their debut Music For All Occasions. Ryan has worked as a producer with artists including Chalk, Just Mustard and TTSSFU.
The group will perform at London's Institute of Contemporary Arts on November 19 as part of the London Jazz Festival. The group will appear at Ireland's Other Voices festival in Dingle on November 28 and 29.
