It's not about the arm-waving.

We don't need robot conductors, but in the interest of providing an
actually interesting topic let's take a look here:

* web.media.mit.edu/~joep/SpectrumWeb/SpectrumX.html

The page is called, "Electronic Music Interfaces." Check out "4) Batons"
and "9) Noncontact Gesture Sensing"

More on the "Sensor Chair":

* web.media.mit.edu/~joep/SpectrumWeb/captions/Chair.html

These control devices, not humans, but that's one of the points against
a robot conductor.

I searched for an electronic wand that could control tempo and intensity
in performance of a pre-existing synthesizer piece I had seen in a
concert a decade or so ago, but no luck.

This looks cool:

* bampfa.berkeley.edu/events/education/bigbang/EN0169

"...Professor Edmund Campion will demonstrate real-time interactive
musical applications of computers featuring the CNMAT Max/MSP/Jitter
Depot and the eight channel surround system in the CNMAT Sound
Spatialization Theater."

I thought we were talking about conductors.

Nope. Posture, subtle muscle movement, eyes, moment to moment
adjustments, facial gestures, human interaction, spontenious expression
based on human experience, etc. You have too narrow a view of what
conductors do in performance.

It won't replicate anything except some of the movement involved. See
above.

Conductors who are programmed to mimic
other conductors.

That is what the do in creating a live performance which leads to all
performances being different.
This effort is more in trying to recreate a specific live performance
with live instrumentation. I guess for this to work we need
robot players too. Quite possible.

And this demo showed that with a properly rehearsed and trained
orchestra, that is sufficient.

Anyone will do, depending on how generously one defines 'sufficient':

After a lifetime she still needs training, ouch.
Of course I could say the same for my grandkids.
But with their life being ahead of them it isn't the condemnation
of your thoughtless comment.

Good God... 1. He meant my training of the players, I'm sure. 2. OF
COURSE I still train! It's a lifelong quest to get better. I work on
my eartraining every day, for example. I attend workshops every year.
Do you not "train" to keep up with technology in your field?

No, training and studying are very different.

Weak cop out.

Training is repetitive to develop and improve a skill.
Studying is to acquire knowledge.
I can study guitar without ever playing.
Can I play without training?

No, just a desire to not have a bunch of posts on a silly side "topic".

Have you ever heard anyone say, "I'm training on guitar"?
Words have different meanings in different contexts.
And yes, in either context, I still train. And I still study. Every
good classical musician I know never stops doing either.

I presume that's precisely the "Arnyesque" road that Jenn referred to.

I know a concert pianist, 2pid. She's played with major orchestras,
recorded, etc. She's 76 years old. She still "trains" eight hours per
day. She also "studies" *and* "trains" at master classes with pianists
that probably even you have heard of. And when she plays with
orchestras, she looks forward to the training and study with various
conductors as well.

She must not be very good if she has to do this at her age, right?
Yes, comparing music to a defensive lineman on a pro football team is
appropriate. LOL!

What an imbecile.

As a side note, 2pid, you seem more bitter and angrier than your usual
angry self recently. Is everything OK?
