Robotic Musicianship jam session - Jazz

[youngprofessor]

um...yeah..call me when they can actually play in time

[stephenthebassist]

This sounds so bad... As a jazz musician with respect for the greats, this should never be considered music, nor should machines ever try to replicate those great players, because they are doomed to fail

[KwameNewton]

@stephenthebassist In all honesty, this is probably at the forefront of robotic musicianship. This is probably better than before, and their goal is to keep improving until it actually does sound good.

[stephenthebassist]

@KwameNewton but my point is they never will sound right because they miss the human element that is entirely necessary

[KwameNewton]

@stephenthebassist Agreed. Have you ever seen the Giant Steps robot?

[stephenthebassist]

@KwameNewton yeah and i'm equally impressed with the technology and equally unimpressed with the concept

[TheDarkSide599]

@stephenthebassist You're only saying that because ... well I really don't know why :S This is good for robots, and just because they're robots, doesn't mean that it's bad.
