AI Thread Summary
Alexander Chen's visualized interpretation of Bach features a unique presentation where viewers must wait for the "strings and four balls" to tune before the music begins. A live performance of Beethoven's 10th Symphony by the Beethoven Orchestra Bonn is scheduled for October 9th at 1700 GMT, although details on the live stream availability are unclear. The performance incorporates AI technology to complete the piece. Some viewers express confusion about the visual elements, questioning the relationship between the animation and the music, while others clarify that the balls represent the 4/4 time signature and the string lengths correspond to the pitch of the notes, with shorter strings indicating higher notes.

They are announcing a live performance on https://www.telekom.de/magenta-tv of Beethoven's 10th performed by the Beethoven Orchestra Bonn on Oct., 9th at 1700 GMT.

And by the way: they had an AI complete the piece!

Ack, little help here please. I didn't get past the first 30 seconds. The lengths of the lines and the motion of the balls seems to have nothing to do with the music. What am I missing? Or are we supposed to ignore the start and skip to someplace farther into the video? Hope I'm not being an idiot here...

The balls define the 4/4, and the length of the strings seem proportional to the height of the note: the higher the note the shorter the string.
 
Just ONCE, I wanted to see a post titled Status Update that was not a blatant, annoying spam post by a new member. So here it is. Today was a good day here in Northern Wisconsin. Fall colors are here, no mosquitos, no deer flies, and mild temperature, so my morning run was unusually nice. Only two meetings today, and both went well. The deer that was road killed just down the road two weeks ago is now fully decomposed, so no more smell. Somebody has a spike buck skull for their...
