Disklavier

Good afternoon, everyone.

The Yamaha Disklavier was used along with TimeWarp Technologies' Internet MIDI software program and Skype to demonstrate long distance teaching and performing at the recent 2010 Intel Visionary Conference. You can see video clips here:

One video clip shows an excerpt of a live performance by pianist and composer Jarrod Radnich who was 3,000 miles away. In another clip, Jarrod teaches a mini lesson to a 13-year old student.

In the 3rd clip, I present the Macha Piano project of pioneer Kristin Shoemaker who is using Internet MIDI with digital pianos to teach children in Macha, Zambia from her home in Minnesota.

The final clip is a performance of God Speed from a new musical called Machaw by Jarrod Radnich. In this clip, Jarrold plays his Disklavier and is accompanied by 15 additional MIDI tracks. All 16 channels of data are transmitted over the Internet to accompany Broadway star Patti Cohenour of Phantom of the Opera fame.
