...sequencing technology that I have in my home studio now, I could start playing a piece of music that would still be playing five years from now. People in the future will be able to drive down the road and, through voice commands, take the drums from a Led Zeppelin song and put Billie Holiday's vocals on top of them and then play the whole thing backward and twice as fast but at the original pitch...
