I create biological sounds just fine without the aid
of a computer!

Limiting my creativity to the exacty fashion with

some dead guy wrote 10'000 years ago.
(I'm sure he
didn't even announce
his own death).
So I am now scheming a devious plan on how to
a) Get back at him, and
b) Demonstrate the programmability of humans to
anyone who has eyes
and mind to see it
So my proposition: Take any instrument that is
convertible to MIDI, like
a keyboard, or preferably, MIDI-plug an old,
whacked up rock guitar that
was used by Alice Cooper to scratch his hairy
buttocks.
So then you get about 100 high-brow studied
classical orchestra
musicians (the more narrow-minded the better),
hand out wireless
terminals with an OSC-hacked version of Lilypond
that display sheet
music from MIDI signals. Have their musical
teachers tell them this is
one of the most avant-garde ways to peform and
that it is their ticket
to fame and fortune in the classical music
community (believe me, these
classical types will believe absolutely ANYTHING
their musical
authorities tell them).
Then plug your flea bag MIDI scratcher and start
getting your groove on.
Voil?! Biological soundfont. Only downside:
Latency is a bar or two.
thats pretty unacceptable. maybe you could get it
lower, with some combination of Thai RedBull and
tweak??
