Talking piano

[Aniruddh Patel <apatel@xxxxxxx>]

Dear list,

I can't resist sharing this with you.

On the webpage below, scroll down to the video
to see/hear a remarkable emulation of speech using
an acoustic piano.

Suggestion: The first time you watch, keep your eyes closed
for about 30 seconds.  Then watch the first 30 seconds again.
How many words did you recognize the first time (without subtitles)?
