Ray's a bright guy. Met him in 1990 at NAMM and was amazed to hear terms such as mass parallelism, adaptive synthesis, and evolving machines in the days even *before* i486 32-bit PC's. His AI ideas could help tackle "lifelike NPC" problems; that of translating Maslow's heirarchy of needs into learned pathing and behavior...
Listen and enjoy.

Hi there :)
Somehow, the first thing I thought of when I heard that name were the Kurzweil stage pianos / master keyboards. Do you happen to know whether they are related somehow ? I guess it isn't an all too common name.

Ray Kurzweil is the founder of the Kurzweil Music Systems... and I guess this is the very reason he is a bit famous...
The company is owned by Koreans these days.. I should probably go and see what they have to offer..after all not so far from here :)
