Tell HN: Experience-based pivot for the musical industry

In a nutshell: computer-generated hologram artists realtime A/B testing musical performances using the audience's mood as a feedback channel, maximized for enjoyment.

So, you start with some seed-music -take an upcoming (but yet unlicensed) performer, or an old music where the license is already expired.

Add some randomization, instruments, mutation, pay other artists, what have you.

Point is, do real, but 100% software-based performances on stage, and start A/B testing it against the crowd.

It kinda snowballs from there; because while most artists do test, their performance-hours are massively limited by the expectation of their physical presence.

It's 1, scalable; 2, non-replicable-able in home enviroments; 3, unique experience

Note: I'm not in the position to take action on this idea -just want to get this off my brain. Feel free to steal, copy, or improve :)
