Automata by Lethave Plank
Automaton from the greek automatos (αὐτόματος) meaning spontaneous or self-moving. Machine that imitates the figure and movements of an animate being.
From prehistoric times to the present day, human beings have tried to give life to inanimate objects, sometimes to improve their living conditions, sometimes as an artistic manifestation, perhaps in search of the meaning of their own existence.
This album is inspired by the search for knowledge through mechanics and society's relationship with increasingly sophisticated devices. Perhaps one day we will find a way to live in peace through the lessons that our own creations can offer us.
I've been also been inspired by the poems from Edgar Allan Poe, Alfred Vigny, Miguel Hernández, Joan Valls and Pastor Aicart.

■ Reviews:
«A través de un concepto mecánico como es el universo robot, Lethave Plank trata de sensibilizarnos acerca de temáticas delicadas. Desde las inercias sociales a la pérdida de identidad, pasando por la lucha de clases y la soledad, Lethave Plank propone la música como herramienta de transmisión de valores».
"Through a mechanical concept such as the robot universe, Lethave Plank tries to make us aware of sensitive issues. From social inertia to the loss of identity, from class struggle to loneliness, Lethave Plank proposes music as a tool for transmitting values".
