no, I'm not talking about DEVO, but this latest advance is just amazing....and I heard it on NPR! (see John, NPR is good for something!)...a company called Zenph Sound has developed software and hardware to simulate EXACTLY a recorded musical performance through a robotic piano...they played a segment of Glenn Gould's performance of Bach's "Goldberg Variations" and it was flawless....then Al Tatum's "Tea for Two" taken from a flawed, scratchy recording, now clear and precise....this isn't "digital remastering," it's so much more....
...In 5 years, all musicians will be programmers....in 10 years, all musicians will be robots!....and, in time, the robot that "simulates" Bach or Beethoven as a composer will surpass him...

Interesting article - a study shows that once an opinion is absolutely accepted by 10% of the population, it quickly rises to a majority opinion. This could help explain why the revolutions in Egypt and Tunisia happened so quickly. It has relevance to opinions changing rapidly on things such as the stock market, where it could cause a rapid drop once 10% decides it's time to get out.
