Also, since notes aren't pure tones, and the overtone series becomes non-equal temperament pretty quickly (immediately), how are you going to manage your color scheme?

Like an acid trip.

There's another future for ya, the LSD business will be in low demand.
 
I predict that the best way to get a guitarist to keep quiet in 10 years time STILL will be to give him a piece of sheet music...

Some things will never change! :laughings:

As drummers will be obsolete, we'll need a new target for jokes...

Hey man, that's soooo deep!

You're like a oracle or sumfin' :laughings:

It came to me while I was in a deep peyote trance in the desert. I know that it's so deep that many might not understand it's meaning. I have not fully come to understand the complete meaning, myself. :cool:
















Can you tell that I watched The Doors a few days ago? :D
 
I reckon that everything we see today was in someone's head in the 50s and 60s in some way, shape or form. Sometimes with a little microdot assisstance...Much (not all) of the technology that comes along gets subverted anyway.

I predict that in the future, someone will invent practice......and clone the DNA of dead artists that can be fed into our systems so that we can imitate all the vocal high notes, guitar solos and polyrhythmic drumming and suchlike. It'll have a daft but memorable name like "Hack rocker" and will be impossible to crack - unless you know me !:p

Let's think some more--the easiest way to implement sound to light is a direct conversion of spectrum to spectrum. The problem with that is that given the tendency of music to follow a pink noise curve means that the resulting light would also be pink (mostly red for the prominence of lower frequencies, made whitish by higher frequency content).

But that's not what moresound wanted, he wanted a spectrum within each octave. Again, harmonics will select multiple colors from various octaves, presumably in decreasing intensity. So now you'd have shades of pastel available.

A functional system would have to have purer tones of light triggered by fundamentals, which is to say MIDI data . . . which I think has been done or at least possible for many years now. So the only twist is getting air to emit light, which seems a not good idea to me as it would require lots and lots of energy and maybe cook the audience :eek:
 
I predict my hearing will be shot and I'll be lucky if I can hear any audio.
 
Face it. The whole sh!thouse is gonna go up in flames, and for anyone that's left, it's all gonna be acoustic music again:(





Never get rid of your old gear:p

I predict that you'll STILL be telling me when to go to bed :D
 
Predict: Increase in Tinnitus, decrease in high frequency hearing ability
Hope: Death to over-compression and auto-tune (except for "Autotune the News")
Know: Analog > Digital
Want: Jetpacks
 
the future of music begins with kc and ends in earl!

I ain't no genius of physics, but the only way I know of to get air to emit light is to heat it . . . I suppose you could create plasma in a speaker, but why would you want to, given that the power consumption would be greater than the usual approach? And how would that not consist of a light show :confused:

Also, since notes aren't pure tones, and the overtone series becomes non-equal temperament pretty quickly (immediately), how are you going to manage your color scheme?

MSH............ it won't have anything to do with heat transference but much like what already happens naturally in nature, light refraction, like a rainbow.

We have been used to seeing primary colors at shows but the mixture of the combination of all the overtones will produce a futuristic light show that will be new and exciting. Something that will have to be witnessed to believe.





:cool:
 
as the major labels continue to break down, the indie labels will gain power. With the internet available, a glut o' music will be at anyones fingers. So much that it will be almost irrelevant - live music will then regain power, and as music regionalizes, some daring company will monopolize one region's musical intake.

Soon, copycats will each have their grab of land in which to pedal music. As each secures its area, sub-areas will be claimed by smaller groups, an bands will be in regional circuits only.

And then some friends who live across the country from each other will have the idea of music that's no bound by region and we can have new major labels, but they'll be the underdogs for a minute


meanwhile, homebuilt instruments will continue their move from experimental music to popular, and as music re-regionalizes, regions will have their own instruments that are popular/common there. Then when everything is re-nationalized, not only will people be exposed to new styles and have them clash and merge, but the same will happen with hardware. whoa
 
Rainbow you say???????

And btw....I predict in the future that this guy will be president and whatever he is on will be legal.
 
On April 21st 2017, there will be a very loud noise, and everyone in the world will go deaf, and that will be the end of audio.

Trust me, man. I saw it. In a magic puddle one night when I was eating a whole bunch of cacti. The puddle wasn't a hallucination though. The giant pool playing moth was a hallucination, the beer drinking elk was a hallucination, but I'm pretty sure the puddle wasn't.

Man, that's weird. I had a dream one night that I was looking through a puddle and I saw a moth and an elk drinking beer and playing 9-ball. :cool:
