Going Along With Intelligent Music Technology...

I just thought of something pretty cool that's kind of from the same vein as my last post.

I'm the kind of person who really likes to sing wherever I go--particularly in big spaces with good, echoing acoustics.

What if there was a room where you could go and when you sang, the walls, which had giant screens on them, just lit up with stuff based on what you sang? What if they could even understand the words you sang and even displayed them back (or even did something like what happens when Squidward's time machine breaks and he says the word "Alone"? If you watch SpongeBob, you know what I'm talking about).

This technology shouldn't really be that far off, right? I know they already have something similar to this for the images that are displayed when you play music in Windows Media Player.

It would be cool if you could tweak the room or have different settings for it, like different amounts of reverb and stuff.

Also, I would definitely like it being able to respond to me randomly, so that I didn't know what it was going to do. For example, I might sing a line or something and it would start producing a guitar sound to go along with it, and then the guitar line would keep going for a little bit after. Or it might just be random in its alteration of my voice--it might have some reverb one time, then it might have some drastic processing effects so that I sound like I'm coming through a radio or a TV, or like I'm a computer, or it might auto-tune my voice, or use an octave effect, or whatever. And what if it absorbed my voice so well that all I heard back was my altered voice? I didn't even hear my regular voice at all--it's like I actually sound like what I'm hearing?!? That would be so cool! If you had a harmonizer setting, you could sound just like Imogen Heap in "Hide And Seek" (for the unacquainted, this is the song that is sampled in the chorus of "Whatcha Say" by Jason Derulo.)

Maybe someday I'll have to design this room.
