apologies: i have no control over the cheese slider:
http://research.microsoft.com/songsmith
sing into a microphone or play an instrument into it and this product of
microsoft research apparently helps you create a song from it.
i haven't tried it out yet myself. just watched the video and read some
propaganda.
to judge from the video, 'the future looks dreadful'. the actual music in
the promo video truly is dreadful. just dreadful.
but the concept is kind of interesting.
but they should tone it down on the cheese slider.
or is it made of cheese? is it cheese all over it like ugly on an ape? or is
it more a matter of what is easy? cheese is relatively easy, isn't it, which
is part of what we object to in its cheesiness: it's predictable, easily
automated style.
ja?
ps: i've linked to it at http://vispo.com/misc/ia.htm , which is my page of
annotated links to works of interactive audio.
