A world of exhaustive, reliable metadata would be an utopia.
It's also a pipe-dream, founded on self-delusion, nerd hubris
and hysterically inflated market opportunities. (Cory Doctorow)

Hey dear Fons!
Yes, that's really interesting. It seems that Motorola was going for
that, or bought the company, but Google bought Motorola some time ago,
and recently they've sell it to Lenovo but first keeping all Motorola
patents (of course). Scary business.
Let's see, but I'd love it would run on some kind of Linux to achieve
a touchable portable FX Box and Audio workstation.
I found another interesting project but related to an open HW and SW
robot, but didn't want to flood the list ;).
P.S: nice photos of your labs on the Zth's friday interview #16, are
you the one with the violin?

No, I'm the one sitting at the computer in the back.
The violins are Guarneri, some of the most expensive
instruments ever.

Ok, unknown face then ;) (until that great day I can go to some LAC).
I also try to keep privacy and a relative anonymity... all that you
can in these days.

What a pleasure it has to be to play and listen to them!

Nooow I see you, great.
P.S: what a well-meaning envy seeing those installations, labs and
that kind if research.
P.S.2: talking about well-meaning envy, and myself being some kind of
a musician in some way, I've found this beautiful sentence:
"Eisenberg goes on to describe musicians as "self-conscious birds" who
have music both in their muscles and in their minds.And that must be a
wonderful state of being. It is for this reason that I have a certain
well-meaning envy of musicians."

Music seems to be a good training against dementia and even seems to
protect against effects of Alzheimer's disease, OTOH a lot of disorders
are more often for artists, depressions, personality disorders, left vs
right cerebral hemisphere, IOW artists are more often left-hander,
dyslexics etc. and even while making music seems to protect against
dementia and effects of Alzheimer, musicians are more often addicted to
evil, life-endangering drugs, they are more often nerds etc., so the
resume seems to be that the pros come with contras². IMO the only real
pro of being a musician is to have fun, when making music and many of us
"suffer" from synesthesia, so we don't need drugs to experience what
most people only could experience when taking drugs.

PS: I guess not only musicians, but all artists are more awake than most
non-artists. If you e.g. draw for children, you will give a drawn horse
human features by drawing the eyes in front of the head. A real horse
has got the eyes on the sides of the head, but usually nobody does
notice this "mistake". IOW to make music, to draw a picture, to write a
story, there is the need to care about nature, to reflect opinions etc..

Music is a powerful thing, deeply and thoroughly rooted in our
neurology, human culture and history. It effects our minds, bodies and
society.
