Too Late to Apologize: A Declaration by T.J. and the Revo is a parody of the song Apologize by Timbaland featuring OneRepublic. A perfect video for President's Day. Link -via reddit
Aw, too bad. I thought this was going to be an apology to the Native Americans for colonizing them and stealing their land. Oh well...I hoped for too much.
It may not have assisted in the creation of music, but it may be a piece in the puzzle of creating more functional robots. Imagine robots creating and playing music, rather than an animatron bleating out an old Stevie Nicks tune.
Device did not aid in the creation of music. Human counterpart simply compensated for the devices playing in an effort to appear as if they were "Jamming".. In essence the device failed to put its own stank on the beat.
I have seen this robot play live. The did a similar project with (i think its a) marimbas.
@otterly, the robot can 'improvise' utilizing the human's beats and manipulating them, it can sense the density of the user's playing and make a decision about its own density. The player can play anything it wants and Haile will 'improvise' with it, not the other way around.
This robot was discussed in "Wired for War," as an example of how the robot/human relationship may be similar to the working dog/human relationship rather than robots replacing humans in various roles.

Loved it. :-D
How many of you would say that this device accomplished its goal of assisting in the creation of music?
I would say that it did not.
Intelligent design at work?..
Clever Hans as robot?

A fascinating book that I highly recommend.
Thanks for posting the video (stanky or not).
