Hey, Rory and Tristan here. We are a harmony duo from Rixeyville, VA (outside Wash, DC). We are also NBC The Voice alumni, Season 2 on Team Ceelo. In addition to writing new music and performing live, we host a weekly music podcast:
Who Stole What: Good Artists Borrow, Great Artists Steal. Listen: http://bit.ly/1hVUnZq
For the NPR Tiny Desk Concert, we decided to write this song, The Programmer. We use our Japanese drum machine/guitar and looping so we could actually play it live on/behind a desk. The song has special meaning to us because, as new media artists, we want to combine our roots as live performers with the digital art we are doing. Hope you enjoy!

The Programmer lyrics...
If you reach down and Turn her on she'll write you a song
If you reach down and Turn her on she'll write you a song
But she can't sing along
But she can't sing along
But she can't sing along
But she can't sing along
Oh oh oh oh computer love
Oh oh oh oh computer love
Oh oh oh oh computer love
Oh oh oh oh computer love
Digital, digital, digital heart
I'm the programmer of a digital heart
Digital, digital, digital heart
I'm the programmer of a digital heart
People came to sing-along
Along to the song
People came to sing-along
Along to the song
The beat goes on and on
The beat goes on and on
The beat goes on and on
The beat goes on and on
Oh oh oh oh computer love
Oh oh oh oh computer love
Oh oh oh oh computer love
Oh oh oh oh computer love
Digital, digital, digital heart
I'm the programmer of a digital heart
Digital, digital, digital heart
I'm the programmer of a digital heart
I input material
she builds me a song
I input material
she builds me a song
But she can't sing along
No she can't sing along
But she can't sing along
No she can't sing along
Oh oh oh oh computer love
Oh oh oh oh computer love
Oh oh oh oh computer love
Digital, digital, digital heart
I'm the programmer of a digital heart
Digital, digital, digital heart
I'm the programmer of a digital heart
