1. Now THAT’S the way to do it! Not everyone can hit that mark, nor do they “have to” for their music to be good, but when someone steps outside the usual or easy use of an electronic instrument, it does the field justice and sets the bar higher. Very well done, because no piece is more of a workout, except for some Conlon Nancarrow ‘songs’ and Eubie Blake’s “Knuckle-Breaker Rag.”

   1. You’d have to be a machine to play Nancarrow.

2. I don’t get it because I’m stupid.. but what about the keys that light up when he’s doesn’t hit them? Is it some kind arpeggio?

   1. its the octave of each note played that lights up.

   2. The preprogramed chords that a piano player would be playing with their left hand.

3. It’s not octaves, it’s unison notes. Like a guitar there are more than one place to play the same note in the same octave.

   1. I take that back. You are right, its unison not octaves. Sorry.

4. Are you sure? Watching and listening to the video it actually looks, as you said, a guitar neck. So they would be the octaves..

5. I think it’s really cool and he did a great job. there’s clearly a preprogrammed part he’s playing along to and is playing those extra notes. that’s where the cool factor ends. he’s only playing part of the right of flight if the bumblebee with two hands. I’d be more impressed if he was actually doing the whole thing.

6. ooh baby baby.. baby baby … ooh baby baby.. baybaybaybaby

7. Oh look, button pusher thinking he can make music! (sarcasm)

   1. Oh look, more whining! (bored)

   2. Sarcasm usually involves humor, not just nastiness.
