Hyperscore
Do you ever wonder about the directions in which technology might allow music to move? Take a look at this inspirational TED talk by Tod Machover – the musical brains behind Guitar Hero. He works at MIT where, with the collaboration of Dan Ellsey, he has been involved in the development of Hyperscore. He speaks eloquently and movingly about the transforming effect brought about by participating in music – especially when first appearances might make participation seem unlikely.
I followed your link purely because I’ve had a go at (my son’s) guitar hero, and got hooked on it.
This video is an amazing testament to the liberating power of music, if someone with the right skills only takes the trouble to find out what someone like Dan Ellsey needs to give a voice to his creativity.
Thanks once again Alan.
