"Det var lite struligt när Robotcowboys pelade, verkar ha varit något med någon av de 1001 kablar han hade virade runt kroppen men det blev ju bra tack vare den tålmodiga och aspackade publiken!" - Various Swedish electronic enthusiasts

Discography
The robotcowboy single "ArpeggiateNow" will be featured in Nov 07 as the limited edition AntiPod release number 2.
"Antipod does not use CDRs or the internet but double sided, high density PC-formatted 3.5 inch diskettes. In short, Antipod is a highly physical mp3 label." (See http://www.antiton.com/)

Bio
An ex-member of the elite Space Ranger unit 7inchWave (DEVO-surf band circa 2005, see www.7inchwave.com), danomatika has gone solo through the universe in a quest to sing melodic electronic-noise songs to dying astronauts. He wandered to the land of the Vikings in 2005 in search of blonde girls, minimal-chaotic-electro, and upper education with the result being a combination of his engineering skills and musical forte: the robotcowboy wearable computer music system.
The one-man-band cybernetic organism of the robotcowboy allows him to generate music on the fly in a sort of live structured improvisation, recording as he goes. His robotic visual helmets, one with a screen and the other an led matrix, combine visual and sonic elements providing a true multimedia experience focused on the embodoment of live energy with algorithmic, computational sound. (See http://www.robotcowboy.com/?p=84 for the Masters Thesis paper)
Since the system reached the prototype level in the spring of 2007, robotcowboy has performed in the following notable festivals:
- Mobile Music Workshop, May 07, STEIM/Waag Society, Amsterdam, NL
- Thesis Presentation, June 07, IT Univ of Göteborg, Göteborg, SE
- Digital Arts Week, July 07, ETH Zurich, Zurich, CH
- Norberg Electronic Music Festival, Jul 07, Norberg, SE
- Pure Data Conference 07, Society for Art and Technology, Montreal, CA
- Artistic Residency, STEIM, Oct 07, Amsterdam, NL
