As a pianist I do not understand the purpose of music that is not playable by humans. In my understanding music is a communication method between human souls. A computer has no soul, likewise Black MIDI "music".
So whether it was made by human hands or a computer algorithm, if it sounds good, people will listen.
As a pianist and an electronic musician, I never have any qualms about making music I can't play. This, however, is just ridiculous. The thing is, it's not at all hard to write a piano piece that's unplayable. Simply add a third note group far enough above or below the existing two note groups and it will be physically impossible to play (unless someone else helps you). It doesn't need to be a grotesque fountain of m…
MIDIs can do that too right?

A piano piece requiring 3 hands isn't impossible to play. You just need a second person to help you play it. ;)

Well, it is definitely interesting. But in this form, I really see no value. I'm only hearing noise in those videos, the noise from the switching on of the note (that slight 'tack') The synthesisers apparently can't handle that amount of notes without some artefacts. And see, they're only adding huge amounts of notes, but no pitch shift and no volume control (apparently) This could be interesting with different (soft…
Not that you can't play multiplicated stuff in real time, it just doesn't sound very interesting. Low-pitch piano keys already have harmonics from higher octaves.

Ever played Rachmaninoff's Prelude in C# minor? 4 well separated simultaneous note groups in a couple of places. That makes it theoretically impossible to play...
He also has a piece called 'The Black Page' due to its density of notes on the page - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Black_Page
Both together here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrOK98q_ILA&list=PL945B5DD750...
