Musical Interlude : the Typewriter Concerto

Link to video
I have read about it a long time ago, but has never seen/hear it performed until now.
I wish there was a professional typist working with the composer. The typewriter part does not sound idiomatic, and there is no cadenza to show off the typist’s skill. :man-shrugging:

I never heard that before. That was fun.
Off topic, but I remember reading somewhere that you can by a keyboard for your computer that will have the same sound as a typewriter when you press the keys.

I remember "extensions" for Macintoshes in the old days that makes old school typewriter noise when you press a key. That was probably back in the "System 7" days, maybe 25~30 years ago.

Speaking of which, isn't it funny how your phone's camera still makes the antiquated "shutter" sound?

Actually, some nations have laws that require digital cameras (including those build into smartphones) to make some sort of noise when taking a picture. From a privacy perceptive, it probably makes sense for a time because, presumably, most people want to know if their pictures are being taken.

That's interesting. I had no idea.

That's silly, because at least in western countries, there's no expectation of privacy in public. So, yeah, okay, you know your picture was taken maybe, but if you're in public there's absolutely nothing you can do about it.

It's not always "the public space" that they worry about. They also worry about perps taking pictures while hiding in, say, locker rooms, public restrooms, communal baths, changing rooms, etc.

Fair enough I guess, but prevention's going to come from prosecuting those who do so, not the sound thing. Sonys, Fujis, and Canons have the option to turn the sound off, as do basically every smartphone model.

Japan was where I first heard about requiring a shutter sound on a phone camera. In addition to what Axtremus mentions, Some pervert guys will try and take a picture up a girls skirt if they are on an escalator with them or next to them on the subway, etc.
