Overview

When Austin gets shocked by the Tune-Pro 3000, he dreams he's transported to a fantastical future, he realizes that advanced technology can feel less personal when it comes to song writing, and learns to appreciate the traditional process.

Episode Summary

In the beginning of the episode, Austin's invited to the World Music Festival by Jimmy; he tells Austin to write a new song for the occasion before leaving. Meanwhile, Austin and Dez head to the International Invention Convention, where he comes across the Tune Pro 3000. He wants to take a short-cut on writing the new song while Ally wants to write the song the traditional way. During this, the machine falls to the floor and breaks.

Austin attempts to fix it, and when he 'has,' he touches it and gets shocked. He wakes up 332 years in the future--or the year 2345--and is at first wooed by everything in the future. After he finds out that music does not truly exist--their idea of music is strange sounds--he attempts to get his friends' help in writing a song the traditional way to bring

the present to the future. He performs Timeless and halfway through the song, the white clothes that everyone was wearing are transformed into colorful clothing--they all enjoy the song, and then Austin gets shocked by a Tune Pro again. He awakens and finds himself back in the year 2013; he finds out that it was all a dream, but the end suggests that the future could truly be that way.

Austin: That convention had so many cool things! Here Ally, I got you something. [Lifts and places the Tune Pro 3000 on the counter.] Ally: The Tune Pro 3000? Austin: This the future of music. You plug in a few notes, hit a few buttons,and...[Tune Pro makes weird sounds and then plays music.] Dez:[Dancing around]This music tastes great!

Austin: [holds Ally's hands and plays the keyboard] So this is a C chord. And this is a D chord. With a little practice you... [Ally plays at the keyboard] totally don't need my help! Ally: Wow! What the heck was that? Austin: That was you rocking at the keyboard. Ally: I guess I've always had this music in me and just needed you to bring it out. Austin: Now just write a song. First we have to come with some chords. Ally: Um... Like this? [plays the keyboard] Austin: That's great! Now we've come with some words. Ally: I got it! [plays the keyboard] Dance, dance, dance, dance... Austin: It can't just be any word. They have to come from your heart. What's the last powerful emotion you've experienced? Ally: Love. Austin: [blushes] Really? Ally: Yeah, I was... Sitting next to you and the keyboard and I thought... Man... I really love the new seat cushion I bought. It's so comfy! Austin: [Takes cushion] Ok... Let's go with love then. What's great about love? Ally: Um... It doesn't end over time. It's timeless.
