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....
