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.

i'm reminded by your post of a conductor in an orchestra. is there
no better example of wild gesturing? but at the same time nuance and
subtlety. i'm not an orchestral musician but i know several and
they swear by the importance of a good conductor, of the musical
information conveyed in not only their baton, but in their facial
expression, eye movement, ect... it can make or break a performance.
it makes me think that the baton, as simple as it is - a glorified
stick - is perhaps one of the first examples of a 'motion control'
interface for music.
