First Virtual Piano Competition

He will evaluate the performances as relayed by Yamaha's Disklavier system. This has some interest from a technical standpoint, and also raises new questions about what a "live" performance is."

  1. Eurovision by jukal · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    You could write such a fancy article about Eurovision Song Contest as well, in which people from 24. different countries interactively select the best of the terrible songs -during the live broadcast-. For example in Finland, you could vote by sending a SMS. But now, that would not be as cool, as a "virtual piano contest". :)
