GEORGIA TECH | SHIMON THE ROBOT

As seen on Disney+’s The World According to Jeff Goldblum.

He has moves like Jagger (almost). And he’s coming to a music venue near you. But he’s not like any performer you’ve ever seen. He’s not even human.

Shimon, the marimba-playing robot, has learned some new skills: He sings, he dances a little, he writes lyrics, he can even compose some melodies. Now he’s taking them on the road in a concert tour to support a new album — just like any other musician.

The new album will have eight to 10 songs Shimon wrote with his creator, Georgia Tech Professor Gil Weinberg. It will drop on Spotify later this spring. ‘Shimon has been reborn as a singer-songwriter,’ Weinberg said. ‘Now we collaborate between humans and robots to make songs together.’
