To demonstrate the creative potential of their processors in tablets Intel put an inventive music movie project, in collaboration with flume, or Harley Streten.

Intelligent Sounds’ is a technological experiment, with Felix Robot and tablets are controlled by band members. They play a composition written especially for this project. Each member of the tablet band is programmed with synthesizer notes and is triggered to play while preprogrammed robot arms strike the right note at the right time.

Intel marketer and strategist Jayant Murty says the film is meant to be amusing light and sound experiment, and also to encourage the public to look at the technology in their tablets.

“It is quite common to play on a tablet music but it is particularly as tablet the music itself creates. Our technology transforms the tablet device to ‘content’ to consume an innovative tool that incredible self-expression allows, “said Murty.

Flume called ‘Intelligent Sounds’ one of his best and most challenging projects to date. “I love the challenge of writing for a particular project with a defined theme. Music I like working under such conditions more restrictive than inspiring.”

Streten is only 21 years old, but has enjoyed international acclaim and fame. He wrote much of his platinum debut album during a backpack trip in Europe. “For me it is important to technology when and where, therefore, to have available.”
