レッツZOOZそれを、ペレス!(Let’s ZOOZ it up, Shimon!)

ZOOZbeat Founder and Chief Technology Officer Dr. Gil Weinberg will jam live from SIGGRAPH Asia 2009 emerging technologies conference in Yokohama, Japan December 16-19, 2009 with Shimon; an autonomous robotic marimba player at Georgia Tech Center for Music Technology that he created. At SIGGRAPH Asia, musicians and non-musicians will also ZOOZin’ it with Shimon.

Shimon is designed to create inspiring human-robot musical interactions that lead to novel musical experiences and outcomes.

“Shimon combines computational modeling of  music perception, interaction, and improvisation with capacity to produce melodic and harmonic acoustic responses through choreographic gestures. Shimon, therefore, listens like a human and improvises like a machine,” says Gil.

Listen Now to ZOOZbeat Artist Street Lotto perform his ‘ZOOZbeattttssss’ song …

Here are the Lyrics:

ZOOZbeattttssss

Yeah! I can do that!
(ZOOZbeattttssss)

Simple as Simon in the first Grade.
The latest App for your iPhone; you want it in the worst way!

You show the world you the King of this.
Spit a verse no prob studio is at my fingertips.

A stroke of genius.
Sing a long with the song to perform while I’m swingin’ it.

Light tape for the high-hat. (High-hat)
Now my son havin’ fun; like “Dad: can I try that?”

He broke in down to the bear drums. (bear drums)
Then a sweet melodie started fillin’ up his ear drums.
(ear drums)
Street_Lotto
He started looking at the channel mayne.
All the sudden, pushed the button and
now back to the piano mayne.

Ah. We finish shake it up.
Whoever sleepin’ those ZOOZbeats Street finna wakem’ up.

First bird see the sunshine.
I know you better hurry up and get yours;
(because I got mine!)

(Lotto.)

I could do that! (ZOOZbeattttssss)
I could do that! (ZOOZbeattttssss)
I could do that! (ZOOZbeattttssss)

I could do that!
