[NewMusic] What David Cope is up to

[George Cremaschi]

Actually, you're still way outnumbered by farmers and peasants. They just have
a smaller advertising budget.

 
> It takes a lot of thought and planning to make this stuff happen, where do you

I'm not inferring, I'm flat out making a statement of fact that a lot of
technological innovations are ultimately used in very bad ways. Unless,
of course, you like warfare and governmental oppression, among other
things. Your precious video game is tomorrow's Pentagon tool.


> You do know the interactive media industry makes more money than movies? 

Wow! I'm certainly impressed...money and power and number of units sold impress 
everyone, right?


> You do consider it a serious art form, right? 

Well, friend, we've hit a roadblock: no, I don't. 


> Then answer me this: how do you write music for this kind of open ended 
> story telling? Music that is moving? Music that is not repetitious?

Hmmm...seems like a piano, pencil and paper worked just fine for a lot of people.


>The state of the game environment reflect the emotional state of the player

Do robots have emotional states?


> We have to make money to survive, which requires a business model. Or  
> is that too realistic?

I know a lot of people who survive just fine without shoving their pathetic market-speak
down other people's throats.
