Hi Mac:

Thanks for sharing. For now, xhail is a score generator with no vocals... at least that is what I derived from the part of the video I watched. (Limited time!)

I did not see a sentence parsed into the "machine" (a collection of software manipulated into a music creating device) but if it can handle more than one word, we are going to be seeing a vocal generator in the not too distant future.

I have no problem with this... except for one fly in the ointment. How do they handle the copyright conundrum? Since this music was generated by human musicians on real instruments, before being "digested" by the xhail system, how can copyright work in this scenario? Maybe they get each musician to sign a "work for hire" agreement before each individual "track" of a single instrument is "fed" into the "machine."

If allowed to be "mainstreamed" unchecked... will this eliminate copyright altogether? How will this "product" (the tune generated by xhail after hearing a single word) be marketed?

Several words enter the picture as this thing morphs into our daily lives: Exciting, troubling, extinct (musicians, songwriters and vocalists) and mind-boggling.

Can't wait to see how all this plays out.

Thanks again, Mac, for sharing. Where can I get one and what does it cost?

Regards,

Dave
