A great little video about expressing musical ideas through computer technology. Tod Machover, co-developer of Guitar Hero, offers his group's plans to make musical expression accessible to all. I have to admit, I am not a great fan of Guitar Hero. I wish more youngsters would spend time with an actual guitar rather than a game controller. However, Dan Ellsey, a young man with cerebral palsy, bowled me over with his composition and performance on a specially designed music making system. The great side of music technology is when something meaningful like this is the result. Get out your hankies! RR
