Linux laptop orchestra reprograms musical conventions
,----[ Quote ]
| irginia Techâs newest musical ensemble has a
| problem with one of its songs.
|
| A faint cough can be heard on the track
| âCitadel,â briefly interrupting soprano
| graduate student Chelsea Craneâs vocals. It
| seems only the most discerning listeners would
| take notice of the small blemish, but to
| composer Ivica Ico (pronounced Ee-zo) Bukvic,
| it is deafening.
|
| âIn a song so serene, a cough sounds like an
| explosion of nuclear proportions,â he
| announces to the students in the room. His
| playful tone belies what the perfectionist
| composer considers a serious problem.
