Whereas guitar hero was one thing, this is like “conductor hero” in VR.

Pffffff…
Do you also have to fight against other wizards in this game?
Oh, that reminds me of comment, about a golf course game where you also have to fight gladiators!
My reaction: what the hell did I watch? while laughing
I make a fakeaure (!) request for the Team to add this as a plugin to conduct Dorico
It’s a very neat concept. Now if only what she was doing actually made sense! You could teach people how to actually conduct.
The orchestra seems to play their Tchaikovsky anyway - no matter what the virtual baton is trying to achieve…
Yes, I was thinking the same. Back in my years at music college/university I was always frustrated that there was no way to practise conducting like it was possible on an instrument, with direct feedback validating and refining every single movement.
I agree. What struck me most was just how exhaustingly physical it all looked. Much more of this and conducting might become an Olympic sport.
Right. The first thing what happens when inexperienced conductors start conducting a real orchestra is losing the tempo, specifically getting slower and slower.
We checked that once in a family concert where volunteers could conduct the orchestra and the orchestra was instructed to follow the “candidates” unconditionally. Almost all stalled within a short time.
That’s because laymen (or beginning conductors) tend to wait and see if the musicians will really react to what they do with their arms, so it’s this experience of “hey, cool, they really follow me” that slows everybody down.
Absolutely. Make the beats at the correct times in the correct directions, and make the virtual orchestra follow with the same sort of delay and inertia as a real orchestra.
Altered like that, it would be great for conducting students, but maybe less so for people who want to pretend to be Karajan in their living room.
Yea… real beat patterns, for a start. Also, lets not conduct fake swells that don’t exist. And move them around to where they are actually supposed to occur in the orchestra, not just the upper left. But generically, it’s a neat proof of concept.
Also the appearance of the orchestra… I love the 18th c., but there were some… ahem… historical inaccuracies, to put it politely. lol
