Noveltys

My fascination with novelty gets the better of me every once in a while - and a quick google video search featuring the top results usually provides enough jib jab for a coupla weeks. This morning I decided to search using classical instruments as keywords. Dude - did anyone else realize that we're in the midst of a robot invasion?

Search: Violin

Search: Orchestra
Top Hit


Can't help but wonder what this orchestra clip is trying to say. ASIMO's appearance as a conductor was brought to us by The Power of Dreams: Musical Education Fund. Robots are the musical competition of the future? Surely, in the future every composer could afford to have their pieces realized by 100 ASIMO virtuosos.
