How a software development team completely recreated a 1955 Glenn Gould performance using nothing but a scratchy monophonic recording, translating the recording into a high-definition MIDI file and playing it on a (high-definition) Disklavier Pro. The article focuses on how good software practices helped solve this extremely difficult problem. (No discussion of their algorithms, only their testing process.) (Thanks Girlhacker.)

Pretty cool! (tho I'd hardly call the '55 Goldbergs scratchy -- mono, yes, hissy too, but clicks and pops? nah)
