the Trons, machine music, and related projects by Greg Locke and Pieplate Industries.

The Trons are a complete self playing, four piece, robotic junk band born January 2008. They tour and perform as any normal band, from Te Awamutu concert halls to Berlin garage gigs. Shows include mechanical projections from the instruments themselves and a constantly expanding collection of original songs.

Pieplate Industries are also involved in record lathe experimentation, vintage studio recording, junk audio, kinetic sound contraptions, and music algorithm development.
