 What kind of music would Mozart write if he lived today?
More than 200 years have passed since Amadeus created his masterpieces yet today despite gargantuan technological advances these classical treasures are performed time after time in the same way, exactly as they were written (which surely gets old after first 100 years)...
So is there more than one way to perform classical music?
For Prof. Max Fomitchev - the producer of 9 albums and scores of chart-topping underground dance music singles, a subculture where he is known as UltraMax - music is as much about innovation as it is about style:
"If Bach was around today I am sure he would have used technology to bring out the best in his music," says Fomitchev, "I can practically see him spinning records in clubs. To me it is simply inacceptable that the young generation is denied the enchanting beauty of classical music simply because it is served in format that feels old and uninteresting. We are here to change it. Penn State Innovation Orchestra and Electric Light Quartet were created specifically to push the envelope of both classical and techno music.
