Overhead Projector as a Musical Instrument

It's a Fred Flinstone midi editor. The guy is obviously having fun and doesn't take this to be composition tool.

Most modern music projects are over my head.

I wonder what Yanni would do with this projector? Probably fine-tune it to include the minor notes, etc.

That's a cool concept.

I've been to a lot of electroacoustic concerts in my day. And one thing about electronic composers is that they're heavy on engineering, and low on musical training. They might come up with genius ideas, but the application is just not musical.

Such is the case here. It's pretty, because the filter is set to a major scale. In the hands of a composer, something interesting might very well come out of it, but otherwise, it's just random nonsense on a page. But very cool idea, anyhow. I'd like to see improvements that include dynamics and the ability to have crescendos and diminuendos. That would be rad.

Now if only I wouldn't have thrown out my filmstrip projector and the strip that shows people clapping.
