This is an interesting article about the possibility of robots playing music with artists on stage in place of other humans with unheard sounds that are three-dimensional and interactive. This endeavor is called KarmetiK Machine Orchestra (after karma and kinetic) and combines elements of artificial intelligence/robotics, music and theater. These are things that humans are not able to do and is about new ways of making noise. The article asks, is it worth the effort? "Wouldn't performing robots dilute a core reason we play musical instruments in the first place — for the human expression of emotion through sound?"
