A very cool video note-by-note visualization that follows along with John Coltrane’s seminal jazz recording “Giant Steps” from the 1959 album of the same name.
Relatedly, here’s the song played by a Japanese robot in a moment which will later be cited as the origin of the Great Robot Rebellion.

“… in a moment which will later be cited as the origin of the Great Robot Rebellion.”
Haha… I’ve marked this day on my calendar as such! We’ll see where we are in another 50 years, if I’m around.

Hey Robot… “It don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got that swing” – Duke Ellington
Get some feel Tin Man. Get some Feel. Robots have no feel that’s why they’re ROBOTS. Robots can’t eat eggs, or feel sorry their puppy is sick. They can’t think outside the box. Robots can’t improvise. They can’t “get into” a good jam. They don’t experience the rush of a crescendo or the chills of dissonance. If you want someone to vacuum your den by all means hire IRONA but for listening to TRANE, F r2d2 and stick to the real deal.
