As a motion designer, I'm curious what features does this has that AE doesn't.

Agree, plus performance art might finally hit the mainstream :)

I believe Vangelis' brass sounds were played on a Yamaha CS80, although the OB-Xa is capable of similar sounds.

JPB did a really great audio walking tour of SF's Knob Hill & Tenderloin. It's in the Detour iOS app.

Tomita's Pictures at an Exhibition is arguably a more distinguished execution of synthesized orchestration than Switched on Bach.

Harmony in modern music has become homogenous and it's getting worse. I would think the best use case for this is to feed it modern chord progressions in order to inspire musicians (or machines) to avoid using these same harmonic tropes.

I think the 30 keys comes from the rollout piano from his couch surfing bud.

Douchebag-driven PR disasters aren't good for biz.

The instrument blending is unique, but agree that this was utterly underwhelming.
