you are right, and after having watched the video another time,
i agree to your observations. (and meanwhile it has been 'officially
confirmed' anyway)

at least i want to know, and i think i am not alone...

no, but people know what a piano or a violin is, and at least have a
rough idea of how it is played, so that 'understanding what is going
on' is usuallay not an issue. this is different with electronic music.
i think this article by robert henke

www.monolake.de/interviews/supercomputing.html

explains the problems we have with life performance/electronic music
quite well.

bis denn!
