I think a lot of the folks who are disappointed with this being at TED are frustrated because they are looking at it from an academic standpoint or at least looking at it as a non-performer. You have to remember that he is performing, and on top of that, probably trying to make a living as a performer. For christ's sake his name is Onyx Ashanti and he made a new name for his music, "beatjazz" =). It's a little over-the-top and mediocre if you are expecting some ground-breaking, concept piece or a technical demonstration of the capabilities of Puredata... but it's not. This guy is an entertainer who is probably combining his love of electronics with his love of music... I don't see anything wrong with that.

Plus... isn't this just an audition?

What's a « technological parody » ?

It's where you take something like a modern digital computer and do DSP by using an interface modeled after 30 year-old analog audio equipment.

Therefore Pd is a technological parody ?
