When playing jazz </blockquote><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">[snip] </blockquote><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">
In case you are<br>
playing with other people (which is not the case in this particular<br>
performance) you need to be able to react to other musicians by picking up<br>
melodic / rhythmical lines and elaborate on them in the context of the<br>
changes of the harmonic structure and build melodies on the fly that make<br>
musical, expressive and emotional sense.<br>
<br>
This cannot be achieved by triggering patterns!<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Thanks Ingo. If that's what he's doing it's a real pity the half of us couldn't get it!</div><div>I imagine that such interface could have been demonstrated more properly with a trio?</div>
<div><br></div><div>In that case the accuracy of each note, etc.. could possibly be more visible.</div><div>Afaik, you were the only one who previously knew Ashanty work, and the only one who knew what was going on during the performance.</div>

You're interface might be able to produce great soundscapes but it cannot<br>
get deep enough into the musical microcosms to shape each individual note<br>
within a melodic line where every single note may be only 100 ms long.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Sure. That's because I'm not interested in it, although it could be great.</div><div>Now you make me wanna try :P</div>
