Analog Input

Our main intention is to create organic, thoughtful, and danceable music. Robocracy is a three piece production/performance team that tastefully blends elements of electronica and hip-hop with jazz. The defining style lies in groove-based compositions resonant with the textural and harmonic explorations of Andrew Huang on vocal effects with Iain Farrell and Adil Johan on alto and tenor saxophones. Robocracy is unique because its production and performance process is both spontaneously improvised and planned with utmost detail.
Huang passionately represents the oral tradition of hip-hop with his up-tempo rapping technique while Farrell and Johan create ethereal atmospheres with their effect-processed saxophones. The bands pieces are showered in the warm timbres of analog synths as the band members multi-instrumentality allows them to switch between instruments to create interesting sounds and spectralscapes.
In 2003 Farrell and Johan explored sonic textures through the use of saxophones processed through guitar effects. Huang joined in 2004, fulfilling the duos quest for a rapper with a wealth of musical abilities. The trios compositions are mainly through composed; skeletal elements of the songs are improvised collectively while horn embellishments and vocals are layered on top of these base structures.
