Can there be singers without talent? Can composers compose without composing? With today's new computer technology anything is possible, but is it for the better? The BBC science journalist Alok Jha tries to find out in this exciting article. Alok Jha visits the music studio engineer Estelle Rubio. He then records a questionable song with his less than perfect voice to see if computers could really fix his beyond hopeless voice. Although Estelle Rubio was able to fix the pitch, the soul of his voice had been taken out. Next he visits Alexis Curt, a computer composer who is developing software that can create it's own compositions. Although his research is incredibly impressive, the final outcome is far from perfect. The potential for computer composition to overcome human composition is not there yet, but it is only a matter of time.
