Very interesting !

I guess it's possible to use a MIDI synthesizer instead of the physical piano to achieve the same result ?

All that's needed is the conversion from the voice spectrum to notes/chords...

The added advantage is that it would be possible to use the pitch wheel to achieve intermediate notes for higher fidelity..

The output can then be processed again and it's pitch changed and so we can create music from synthesized speech. Does this make any sense :) ?

Thank you for bringing Paul Lansky to my attention! A radically new soundscape (for me at least). Any more recommendations?

I don't have a specific recommendation, but Lansky sounds a lot like the Tape Musician's of the 50's. Said musicians would slice and glue together countless snippets of sound recordings of real objects or spoken voice to create their compositions. Today, the same can be accomplished digitally. Here is a recent example (though a little pop-music like): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAwR6w2TgxY

It's just quantization at that point.. Aka pixie sound filter (also known as bit breaker.)
