 Slightly OT: First virtual musicians, now virtual composers

An article on an interesting product just released by Sony:

Here's Sony's product page:

I figured I would lose a few gigs to a virtual clarinetist but I thought I was safe from computer competition as a composer!

How long until the "virtual audience?"

That's been in place quite a while, much longer than the virtual musicians. IIRC it predates even the first synthesizer. The latest major release coincided with the premiere of Gigli.


As for the virtual composer, my complaint is that most film music sounds the same already. This is just removing the middleman between the director that wants a cliche score and the cliche score the director wants.

"The latest major release coincided with the premiere of Gigli"

Seems like an omen...

And the virtual audience pays virtual money for these virtual performances of virtual music?

I suppose the ideal thing then would be that real people can go back to making real music for real audiences (and maybe even make real money at it!)

I think that adding allowing somehting that is not living to compose is very artistic and would support all efforts to see that it happens in various levels. Who knows, maybe this is music in it's truest form!

Music as an art needs to evolve and go through phases, just like any other art form.
