I asked a good friend - a blues pianist - what it was like to have to think about two hands playing his songs, because to me, a non musician, I could basically control one or the other, the left hand or the right hand.

But he didn't even think about it that way.

His two hands were two parts of one thing, extensions of one intent.

As he saw it, his two hands and ten fingers were merely the extension of one heart.

seems like it is just automating through preset samples - I fail to see how this is unique from any talented keyboardist performance, tbh. I wouldn't really call it a one person orchesta... Or maybe I'm missing something.

So what makes a Pianist great? At the end they're all just playing the same notes from memory, over and over again, aren't they?

This woman took a pretty unique instrument and programmed it herself to create every aspect of this performance. The timing, the precision and the sheer amount of practice it must have taken to get this perfectly right are pretty incredible.

What makes this a one-person orchestra? Try taking an audio recording of this performance, play it to someone who hasn't heard it before and then ask them how many people are playing. One won't be an answer anyone not familiar with this would give.

It seems to be *dead.
