Having been approached by the team of Japanese roboticists behind the three Z-Machine robots to compose music for the project in 2013, Squarepusher composed the piece "Sad Robot Goes Funny" which was used in a film of the robots performing directed by Daito Manabe - available to watch on YouTube.
Following the success of the initial piece of music, Squarepusher went on to compose and record the additional four pieces that make up the Music for Robots EP.

gollark: Oh, I see. Well, I generally don't add paging to my projects as they do not deal with enough data.
gollark: Yes, it's much more elegant to just arbitrarily mix raw database queries into all your user-facing view stuff.
