Experimental Sonic Machines

Experimental Sonic Machines is Peter K Rollings & Ernie the robot drummer, based in Lincoln UK. It started in 2010 with performances at open mics using homemade instruments & costumes & has progressed to machines that play paper discs to create original basslines & rhythms. To this, he plays a single-string guitar made from oak from a skip, & old keyboards given to him, & the WUI (Wind-Up Instrument) that has a homemade generator on it such that it doesn't need a battery. Over the 16 years of Experimental Sonic Machines he's made over 27 masks, & has drawn a poster with them on which is available. Ernie was created in 2013 & has played at lots of gigs, festivals & busking sessions.
