Alert

If it's the 1812 overture, the "surprise" is traditionally done with the accompaniment of cannon.

Grapeshot anyone?

Dont bother with the coat dear, just my running shoes please.

You what?

Shouldn't that be 'FU BAR-BAR-BAR-BARRR'?

What I want now .....

What I want now is an entire orchestra composed (though, to be brutally honest, I'd settle for a string quartet) of robots equipped traditional instruments, which can be controlled via MIDI (each robot mapped onto a MIDI voice).

Can-can bye robots

Bye very sexy and very stripped (original fashion) girl robots. Comming soon, perhaps but I wont be there.

Then again perhaps all that fuss infront of the orchestra, arse towards paying customers, has been unnecessary all these years.

Sorry that was unnecessary, but so was this story on on, where the hell am I anyway.

I believe (and this is completely hunch based) that a human conductor does more than just wave his/her hands (and other body parts) based on the notes.

This is just another one of those things... Like when Deep Blue won Kasparov, all the retards thought that AI is here, finally.

I wish...

...Honda would hurry up and get these on the market. I want to have one follow me around and beat up people who annoy me - slow walkers, chavs, loud children and so on. Then I can just blame the robot "got a mind of his own guv".

Not conducting FFS, what use is that to anyone?
