Rother's electro sound ("Sex With the Machines", "Simulationszeitalter", "Hacker") is characterized by repetitive machine-like beats, robotic, vocoder-driven vocals, melancholy, futuristic mood and lyrics that often deal with the consequences of technological progress, the relationship between humans and machines, and the role of computers in society.
In addition to electro, Rother also composes dark ambient music ("Elixir of Life", "Art Is a Technology"). He has also produced music for Sven Väth and DJ Hell.

Siete de la mañana
Un puto sol que me despierta, sin tener claro si es verano o primavera mirando el calendario siempre intento estar alerta mantenerme de una pieza me da igual ya la derecha izquierda
The lyrics of Little Computer People's song "I Am" describe the drowsy thoughts of a person waking up to the sun and questioning what time of year it is, while also trying to stay alert and composed. The use of the colloquial Spanish phrase "un puto sol" (a damn sun) adds a sense of frustration and irritation to the singer's tone. The line "mantenerme de una pieza me da igual ya la derecha izquierda" further emphasizes the singer's struggle to maintain their composure and focus.
The song captures the feeling of being lost and disconnected in the modern world, as the singer grapples with the challenges of everyday life while trying to stay grounded. The use of electronic beats and synth-heavy music also highlights the song's theme of being trapped or isolated in a digital landscape.
Overall, "I Am" is a poetic and introspective exploration of the complexities of modern life, capturing the feelings of isolation, confusion, and vulnerability that many people experience in today's fast-paced world.
