The Electric Knife Orchestra Performs a Robotic Knife Cover of the Bee Gees Classic ‘Stayin’ Alive’

The Electric Knife Orchestra, a group of knife-based robotic instruments built by artist Neil Mendoza, performs a cover of the Bee Gees classic “Stayin’ Alive.” The orchestra features 16 knives and a meat cleaver built to produce a wide range of sounds including one knife-bot that plays the triangle.

The Electric Knife Orchestra consists of sixteen knives and one meat cleaver (all purchased from the $0.99 store) that have been brought to life to perform the Bee Gees’ 1977 hit Stayin’ Alive. The orchestra consists of six musical machines and all of the sound is created through the operation of these machines.
