Anybody else see this? Ovi from Romania at Eurovision. Plenty of innovation there Dewster Close look suggests it needs lolatu's healing hands.

As far as I can tell, it's not a working unit... and I believe it's a total ripoff of the Pianoarc.. http://www.pianoarc.comwhat do you think?

Yep, looks like the Pianoarc...which was one of the highlights from NAMM this year.
I didn't watch Eurovision (haven't seen the show in years...), but saw this picture on the BBC News website - I hadn't realised it was a non-working unit. Somewhat pointless.

James x Well some would say that about Eurovision. This year was, well just, amazingly good or bad. Like Marmite.

The bits of Eurovision I saw this year suggest very little of what's going on onstage is real.

Eurovision has got very little to do with music, and lots to do wih light entertainment and glamour. Maybe it was good in the '70, but now it's exactly the opposite of what music should be.

Since the winner is a woman with a beard, it shows what it is all about.

kapelli, I think it's safe to say that Western Europe is more enlightened than Eastern Europe. Do I really need to state this?
I learned a long time ago to listen to music with my eyes closed. Auditions with major symphony orchestras, for example, are held behind screens so the judges cannot see the individual auditioning.

But then you think about the concept of 'the whole person' and why, for example, we do not like the idea of women being covered up with face veils. And the slightly worrying idea that music is partly visual - something which I think I'd have rejected out of hand when I was younger, but am coming to accept now. ps The Polish entry was amazing. Butter churning nubile maidens! What gives, man? (as we hippies used to say)

toddy, my personal experience with listening only with my eyes is this - my wife will see someone perform and she'll say how much emotion they have ... or how emotional their music is.
She's seeing the contorted face or the closed eyes with the head pointed up to the ceiling; she's giving more attention to the visual aspect than the actual musical performance. (Playing in a symphonic orchestra is not theater.)
If you close your eyes all you hear is their control over technique, dynamics, and phrasing.

Yes, exactly - the music is ALL that counts. But you've got famous examples of the visual being part of the performance itself - Jacqueline Du Pré. Of course, she would probably have made a lousy orchestral player.
...not sure what to think about this.
