Style and Influences

Astrobot's musical style is made up of elements from trip-hop , post-rock, ambient and krautrock . Astrobot mixes samples and instruments, which are then processed by a sampler ( MPC2000XL ) and Ableton Live . The music is supported by literary stories and draws references to television series such as Lost , Twin Peaks or Game of Thrones . There are also influences from Far Eastern mythology and philosophy.

The astrobot

The figure of the astrobot is a kind of energy that has manifested itself in the form of a robot . The myth about the being is based on a translation error by a Polish monk. He translated ancient scrolls from India and incorrectly changed the Polish word combination "Stara Robota" (in German "old work") to "Astroboter". The so-called "old work" was about the balance between good and bad .
