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...
