From Dave Reay, University of Essex
I was intrigued to read about the robotic composer (RoBoser) that makes music
in response to sensors in the audience
(25 March, p 9).
The potential for such a system at sporting events seems huge. One can
imagine a lively, upbeat piece of music associated with arms in the air and flag
waving, contrasted with a solemn dirge when flags and heads drop.
Taking this idea one step further, why not incorporate sensors into
individual athletes in Sydney this September? The music composed by RoBoser
for a pole-vault or gymnastic event could be amazing.
