      For Roland, that’s apparently a digital piano that surrounds the performer in a swarm of flying surround-sound speaker drones.

        Maybe one could use that tech for a piano transcription of Stockhausen's Helicopter String Quartet?

            The Ride of the Valkyries would be more fun.

            Having said that, sticking knitting needles in your ears would be more fun that what Klaus is suggesting.

              WTF? The sound of the drones motors and propellers would be really annoying.

                At least they'd drown out the Stockhausen.

                  Saw this being demoed recently. The demo was done in a noisy, crowded environment. Cannot judge the audio because of that.

                    I think it is kind of like concept autocars. Gets publicity for the maker but it probably never built
