I checked dis a lille bit, it's really just arreangement and MIDI reskins, so it's not yet full-soundwave imitations.
however, there's also Google's DeepMind. ok well that shit really imitates speech. but the real reason I wanna bring that up, cos as a music nerd im ofc checkin out the classical piano imitations DeepMind does... so couple of things:
1. sounds terrifyingly close to actual finesse piano playing...
2. sounds like a TERRIFIC mockup of classical "genius piano" post-Chopin *evil laugher*
I'm gonna say it now, hey i'll just say how we all really think deep inside.
lot of the "virtuosic" classical piano shit that Listz really started (or at least is a good prime example) is utter shit. it's just lot of miniature details on a very boring, poor compositions.
Chopin could do (and i think he did his fair share of "those" songs?) those ass-gaping stupid flourishes, but there's a good reason why his simple coffee-shop compositions still are played today over dat shit. my guess is that dat shit was what they got payed for and got easily the most rep and rap'rd for in those days (just like modern day guitar virtuosos). it's hard to make good songs.
THEN i found this gem from youtube ahhaha

i listened to ragnar's two new ep's shortly, with procedurally generated melodies. i'm really liking how we're going a full circle in history. bach autistically made so many compositions that they are listed in numbers and dumb signifiers (Ass on Major D, n.1174255), but did you know that most of his compositions are i recall, just just some plain ole mathematical variations without attention detail?? so much for artistry and beauty!
did you know that his major jam was he was EXTREMELY virtuosic in... leg pedal soloes??? *guy furiously tip-top'ing hooonks and huuunks in maaad speed on a church organ*
PULL A VEIN!!!
