Triste Tryst, a tango for Cybraphon by Bernd Rest from Cybraphon on Vimeo.
Cybraphon is resting right now. We are putting him through cold turkey with an enforced separation from the internet for his own good. We’re not entirely sure what his BAFTA glory will do to his ego, so we thought it best to keep him in the dark until his next outing at the Glasgow International Festival in the spring. In the meantime, however, we’ve been busy with the first of several guest composers visiting Cybraphon.
Bernd Rest has written a wonderful tango especially for Cybraphon. He has called it Triste Tryst, but his secret meeting with our moody robot was anything but sad. Listen to the results above. You’ll also be able to here the tango live in Glasgow next year – assuming Cybraphon is in the right mood, of course.

We are all feeling: delirium.




Cybraphon Can Move
We said it couldn’t be done, but we’ve proved ourselves wrong . . . we have successfully managed to move the moody robot to the west coast of Scotland. It took quite some effort to carry Cybraphon’s heavy load up two narrow flights of stairs to its new resting place at the Studio Warehouse (SWG3) in Glasgow but amazingly there was no damage and the emotional wardrobe is full operational once more.
From Friday 16 April – Monday 3 May 2010 Cybraphon will be on display at the SWG3 in Glasgow. Admission is free, and the gallery is open from Monday to Saturday from 12 noon – 6 pm (late opening on Thursdays noon – 8 pm). Directions and more info here.
Cybraphon’s overshadowed, shadowy, creators FOUND will be launching the exhibition with at SWG3 free gig on Saturday 17 April, with support from De-Fence Records electronic heavyweights OnTheFly and the Radio Magnetic Sound System.
