The cyberpunk movement depicts the sound as metalish with a lot of
sythesized modifications. Besides, from playing guitar for 7 years now,
I can tell you, "It is all from the soul". Putting a datajack in my head
ain't gonna make it come out. It comes out in the voice, the hands, and
the heart. So in a way, musicians already have their pleasure centers wired
to their "instrument".
A friend of mine considers himself a cyberpunk musician. He follows the
movement and is the second most fabulous guitarist I have seen on or off
stage. His likes: Queensryche, Extreme, Vai, etc..
But, then some cyberpunkers also think that things like 9" nails and some
other industrial stuff is truly cyberpunk. It all is a matter of taste.
The cyberpunk movement is here.
BTW: Real time ray-tracing, and syhtetic images (as you call them) are real.
Look at the Silicon Graphics Machine: Personal IRIS, or the Reality Engine.
It is being done.
