glad the provocation went through.<div><br></div><div><div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">Does it ?<br>
<br>
</blockquote><div>yes, in my honest and humble 2 cents. That&#39;s why I asked for opinions.</div><div>There are gestural frameworks out there which are far better implemented (talking about the look since Mathieu answered).</div>
<div>Thus, I was just wondering that I would have appreciated TED to show some of them instead of this with cables everywhere and boxes hanging around.</div><div><br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">
Do you care to explain yourself ?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>did it above.</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">
<br>
What&#39;s a « technological parody » ?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I mean when &quot;hi-profile&quot; tech is used to implement an approach or a concept that doesn&#39;t really require such amount of technology.</div>
<div><br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">
And what&#39;s that thing you call a « dj » ? You use it in your own name thesaddj. What&#39;s your relationship with that word ?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>auhauha, mathieu you&#39;re a careful observer.</div>
<div>thesaddj is a name which i bring around since i&#39;m a teenager... now is only the name of my blog, no excuse for that :)</div><div><br></div><div>A dj?</div><div>there are many nuances, but I mentioned that as the text in Onyx&#39;s video read: &quot;so that beatjazzers become as common as djs.&quot; </div>
<div>Do you really need cables everywhere, sensors, a mouthpiece with two guitar pickups, a smartphone stick to your forearm, etc.. to achieve such goal?</div><div><br></div><div>Wait a moment. I&#39;m not saying his work is bad or anything.</div>
<div>I made safe my respect for his work at the beginning.</div><div><br></div><div>I&#39;m just saying, guys it&#39;s TED and when I heard gestural and sensor control I expected another kind of work, underpinned by another kind of aesthetic, approach, and motivation.</div>
<div>But, I probably overestimated which is the value and motivation of new technologies which need to be shown to the mainstream public.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div>&quot;...he clearly has musical skill with his instrument, and is able to keep the musical timing tight.  These are all difficult things to do, and from what I&#39;ve seen 95% of performance with new interfaces for musical expression does not achieve one of those goals solidly.&quot;</div>

<div class="gmail_quote"><br></div><div class="gmail_quote">that was in 2008 by Eboman, using not only real time audio looping, but also video looping and processing, plus remix of a website online.</div><div class="gmail_quote">
<br></div><div class="gmail_quote">Hans, Onyx is playing mostly loops isn&#39;t he? How you know about the timing?</div><div class="gmail_quote">We don&#39;t even know how much of what he&#39;s doing is really live, what is he triggering, if timing is controlled by a timeline or by his performance.</div>
<div class="gmail_quote">Please, correct me if I&#39;m wrong.</div><div class="gmail_quote">But I saw a lot of loops playing on a timeline and some solos parts possibly produced through the mouthpiece.</div><div class="gmail_quote">
<div><br></div><div>I&#39;m not talking about the quality of the performance which is obviously good, reliable and enjoyable.</div><div>I&#39;m pointing at the real value of the innovation since it&#39;s a TED episode.</div>
