MMD Archives October 1996 1996.10.18 07 Prev  Next Musique a la Mecanique By Robbie Rhodes I love the fresh viewpoint from Philippe Rouille' ("say rue-YEY") in Digest 961017. He says that through our hobby we enjoy "Live Music Created Mechanically." The sound is real-time, created while we listen, and watch, and perhaps even dance. This is much more fun than just hearing a sound from a loudspeaker, and it bears kinship to the pleasures of a live performance. The next time I play the Gershwin piano rolls for visitors, I'll explain that they will hear "a live performance, programed for us by George!" Perhaps they will understand.... Robbie Rhodes (Message sent Sat 19 Oct 1996, 03:09:44 GMT, from time zone GMT-0700.) Key Words in Subject:  la, Mecanique, Musique
