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: Infected?
gollark: Fortunately the fusion reactors, when they do work, produce so much power that they can charge giant batteries, so we mostly just use those.
gollark: At the Unicode Consortium, which is better than heavpoot's W3C, we continuously run into fusion reactor failures, so I made more fusion reactors with a simpler system as a backup, but they failed too.
gollark: I'm actually on the same sever heavpoot is on right now and trying frantically to repotatonate the fusion reactor.
gollark: Mr pronouns are [REDACTED]/[DATA EXPUNGED].
