What will they think of next? I personally as a musician cannot reconcile this act. If you have ever seen IRobot, I take after Will Smiths opinion that machines aren't meant to perform works of art, but functions in which they naturally excel. I can't build a building by myself, but a machine can. I like that humans emote, and machines don't. I say this because if you have ever performed any piece of music, you know your goal is to feel it, to emote within it, and to portray the message of the song to your audience. It takes an empathy that is inherently human, not science.

Music is a Science. The Science of pitch, notes, chords, sound vibration, etc.. it's all highly scientific. But a piece of music is just notes and rythms until emotion and passion lay behind them. It acts as a foundation for the bridge between science and art. You cannot reduce the genius of Mozart to a series of violin strokes at the right times. The only way a machine could perform it is if a human being interpreted the passion for it!

As you can tell, I love Music. I guess Robots will do a lot of things in the future that I don't want them to do, but I still stand by the old adage:

"What is easy with the human mind is hard for a Machine. What is easy for a Machine is hard for the Human mind. Thus, let the Human mind do what suits the Human mind and the Machine what suits the Machine."

UPDATE: There was a video released. This is what i'm talking about when I say no Passion...
