Concert to be Performed from Beyond the Grave
rtphokie writes "Raleigh, NC based Zenph Studios is hosting a live concert performed by two piano virtuosi long since dead. Zenph developed software which digitally transcribes performances even from the scratchy recordings. A more faithful transcription of timing, key and pedal pressure is achieved using Yamaha's high resolution version of MIDI."

Then you need to take extra care to avoid power surges in the holographic matrix, because then you'll be stuck with some piano-playing hologram who won't go away.
Then you'll have to make a moral decision: Endure the wisecracking hologram as a poorly-needed comedic relief, or shut off the power and kill the poor dude.

Oh yeah, really ancient...Ooooooooohhh, ancient and scary!! What if they come back to life as mummies and go on a rampage for defaming their ancient masterpieces??!!!

Unfortunately, he's spending a year dead for tax purposes, but hey, we can't but hope, eh?

Maybe they can rent the space to parents who want to take pictures of their 2 mo playing the piano. Even better, take videos of this, and send it to all your relatives, just to show that your smoking during your pregency DID NOT affect your child at all.

See, most MIDI devices only go up to 255, but mine goes up to 256.
I'd definitely go see it if it had that giant electronic gorilla that they used to have at Showbiz Pizza.

Frankly, I don't care if it is very good or not. If they don't stick to the standard of emblazaning an H on his forhead, I'm going to nitpick!
