pretty exotic? @11:52 AM

There have been a few threads running around the blogsphere today about quote unquote sensor music:

This is what does a trio of Australian musicians from Canberra. The musicians of the group, named Hypersense Complex, create their digital music using sensors attached to their hands. This generates sounds through a laptop network of Apple PowerBooks running a Python script. Pretty exotic, isn't?

I can't tell if this guy is being facetious or what with the "pretty exotic" quote. I suppose using python to generate this stuff is somewhat novel, but c'mon, people have been doing this, and much more interesting stuff, since almost before the digital age. This is like reading the international computer music conference preceedings from the early 1980s. You'd think that people writing for tech blogs would have a bit more understanding of the context.
