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."

    The day MIDI can duplicate Elvis's unique voice is the day they find a way to electrically control the spinal columns of about 10,000 people in Vegas.

    I thought this was going to be about dead musicians coming back from the grave to kill those who use their music as ring tones. Still cool though.

    Is a (not-so-) live concert by the legendary Hotblack Desiato.

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

    "The projection wouldn't even have to be very good.."

    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!
