Yeah, that is exactly what i meant.  Not a composer, but a  
conductor.  Sometimes my thoughts go a million miles an hour and i  
cant keep up.  So i screw up the meaning of my message.

The emotions any serious musician displays is what this technology  
would allow a performer to display, because it would allow him to  
interact in real time.  Guitar face would take on a whole new  
meaning.  Losing ones self in the creative process is a thing of  
beauty.  In the world of electronic music or what have you, that  
takes place in the studio, and still it is not in real time.  It has  
unlimited potential.  And for less then half the price of a Lemur(one  
arms worth) it is a bargain.
