This would be super cool if you could play audio of the artist, or just some representation to give an idea of what this means in real life. I've got no idea what keys play what sound, and even less idea what a "range" is. It would be cool to hear something that would help me understand this.

I was hoping the piano keys at the bottom would play notes, but they don't.

Yes, seeing the keys at the bottom make me want so badly for them to be clickable and play notes. Maybe even bind them to

Does "The Singing Vacuum Cleaner" from The Fifth Element count? Despite the rather ludicrous costume given the actress, the singer behind that piece is actually quite good: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inva_Mula

For whatever it's worth, that song was considered to be impossible for humans to actually perform.. Humans always being ready to destroy expectations, someone of course did it, Jane Zhang the opera singer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CrJFNYOw4wk

Dimash does an amazing version too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o5zMupUOgQo
