The future of music making

http://www.poetv.com/video.php?vid=8728

Not to say this IS the future of music making, but it certainly raises the question of what will will be possible in the near future.

Very cool. Reminds me a bit of the earliest electronic instrument. I was a machine with a wire to a metal rod, and depending on how you hold the rod, the output would be different. It was used in a lot of UFO/horror movies to make that classic ..... wwoooaaaaahhooooooohhh sound

I could see this being used in some electronic music genres. It would be great for a jam session a bunch of people changing and adding to the music as they go.

Looks really expensive and experimental though...so I guess it will take a while before we're there.

I remember seeing/reading about something like this before. Sweet indeed. Something I'd really like to try my hand at.

Looks nice, but that's about it. You'll be able to make some lame electronic music.

They'll never be able to synth a guitar perfectly.

HA! Just wait. Your guitar will be replaced with an electronic equivalent soon enough.

No. Right.

Technology is progressing at an exponential rate. It will only be a matter of time until all physical instruments can be digitally modelled within 99% accuracy.

Of course, I think that would be a complete waste. I'd much rather see an exploration of sounds rather than mimicry.

Why would they even want a perfekt emulated guitar? Sure, to save money and/or time to actually pick up the guitar, but other than that? I think more people writing electronic music actually want the guitar to sound "fake". Mistakes and crappy samples is what made the genre.

Ok that's pretty cool - but it really is just a nice interface for stuff that can already be done.
