]]> Comment on Muzak Accompaniment II: Ballet Hero? by talfonso http://talfonso.blogatize.net/muzak-accompaniment-ii/comment-page-1/#comment-30 talfonso Wed, 22 Jul 2009 17:00:09 +0000 http://talfonso.blogatize.net/?p=54#comment-30 Well, to play <em>Guitar Hero</em>, you have to press all the right buttons at the right times, but as fun as it seems, some music snobs say playing rhythm games such as this lacks the emotional aspect of making music. The same is true with using piped music at a professional ballet company performance (I'm talking about renditions of the most treasured ballets, such as the <em>Nutcracker</em> and <em>Cinderella</em>, which I saw live as a child in New Jersey.) - the dancers are just memorizing the steps from memory without additional emotional support from the sound of real violins. My bottom line is that <em>Guitar Hero</em> is OK for parties and sleepovers and such, but applying the same principle, with pressing the matching buttons on the guitar controller being akin to merely memorizing the steps to just piped music, to a ballet performance with the exception of a few works performed to rock or pop music is not.
