Orpheus gets rid of that people problem

Filed in archive Innovation on June 11, 2006

Orpheus is a web-based virtual composer from Steeprock Media. Just set play length, instrumentation, and ambiance, and Orpheus automatically generates music. No need for the expense and attitude of composers, producers, and artists!

Dr. Greg Wilder, president of Steeprock Media, said "Multimedia producers are constantly faced with the daunting task of supplying their clients effective music tracks with limited budgets and tight deadlines. Orpheus exists to bridge the gap between static production libraries and costly customized solutions."

We know where this going to end.

In his blog Paul Korda writes "COMPOSER ROBOTS UNION SET TO STRIKE OVER OUTSOURCING TO HUMANS."

"In a strike set to last forever, the Composer Robots Guild have decided to repeat second hand versions of previously created drum beats and electronic samples of previously created human music orchestrations.

The Producers Association expressed it's concern that a return to feelings will be too great a shock to the public, and have asked the government to step in to limit the possibility of terrorism caused by the unrest due to the potential for the re-emergence of idealism."
