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..."

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

If it works it is nice!
But then we don't need all the Dj's anymore, so lots of peeps wo don;t have work :P

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

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.

Tracks of the moment

1. FilterFunk - Message In a Bottle (Sander Van Doom Remix)
"A Hundred Million Cast aways, Looking For A Home"
2. Ferry Corsten - Whatever (Marcel Woods Remix) (again) (original)
3. Bone Thugs n Harmony and all their solo's (seriously..)

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

Arg, I think it's bollucks (sp?)
