No need for DJs anymore

Definitely not an advocate, but interesting read:

"A computerised DJ that uses feedback from the dancers to generate new music has been developed by artificial intelligence experts at Hewlett-Packard, meaning clubbers may soon only have themselves to blame if they do not like the music they are dancing to..."

Interesting Concept

Sounds like a pretty cool toy.

I would love to experiance it in reality to see if what they claim is true. Sounds a bit fantastical to me.

However it would take away the human element of the DJ which I feel is VERY important. Watching the DJ interact with the crowd and the music is one of my favorite things to do.

I say use this machine to replace all those human jukeboxes out there. The real DJ cannot be replaced. DJing is an art and art cannot be replced by a machine.

peace

I totally agree, I wouldn't go to a party if there'd be just a machine playing.. tsk

maybe...

Well, it would be cool to get a cd of the music you just heard in the club. The whole heart monitor thing seems kinda crazy to me though.

there's no substitute for the elements a human dj brings to the table(no pun intended). it'll never catch on.
