Technology in search of a composer it seems to me.

I didn't think it so bad. But certainly what you have is
all the ingredients necessary to make progress -- a group
of musicians playing together in front of an audience with
a generalized keyboard. Hooray for Andy, Anthony, and the
guy on drums who thankfully hasn't exploded yet. :)

I'll note that Andy even manages to make a microtonal generalized
keyboard more appealing on stage than a conventional keyboard!
By being able to play while standing and facing the audience,
more like a guitarist. This is important.

Another approach might be a Roland button V-accordion

in free bass mode (left hand). It also has the ability to
lock the bellows (anybody know if the buttons are velocity-
sensitive?). -Carl
