Barriers have been pretty low for a while now. At IRCAM in the 1980s, visiting composers would typically first be assigned a computer expert to help them, but many of them soon learned to work with e.g. PatchWork or OpenMusic themselves, unassisted (typically programming in Lisp in those days). While I'm happy that this contemporary pianist is able to get the behaviour he wants from his instrument, I don't see how this is particularly knew or innovative when, for example, Philippe Manoury was doing the same three decades ago.

That's cool, I didn't know that!

I'm still amazed at the low barrier nowadays - I just sat down this morning with my keyboard and computer. I downloaded Processing and MidiBus and had Tepfer style symmetric piano and delay working in under 30 minutes (though I had a dusty understanding of Java to begin with). [1] I think I'm inspired to try my own Tepfer-piano playing...
