Autechre Program magically remixes any song with a swingin' new beat...

[chaosmachine]

The Swinger is a bit of python code that takes any song and makes it swing. It does this be taking each beat and time-stretching the first half of each beat while time-shrinking the second half. It has quite a magical effect.

someone run an autechre track through this.

Is there a download somewhere? Not finding anything. The creators website even has something that supposedly can produce new music just by analyzing your mp3 collection? But no downloads anywhere :(

Lemme rephrase that: is it even possible to obtain this if you don't know a thing about compiling source code? :P

yeh echonest is pretty interesting!

the timbre information you get from the sound grains is cool. i've dabbled around with it myself a little, though didn't come up with anything grande. here is it anyways:

surely this will piss someone off, but it just works so well.

 

might have to run a song from the latest ceephax through it, though i doubt it will do much.

[chaosmachine]

good work :)

Do Emotinium?

big IRL lol within the first eight bars. excellent work

[Guest disparaissant]

Do Emotinium?

http://soundcloud.com/disparaissant/emotinium-swing-33

worked surprisingly well! :D

afromb.py with gantz graf and emotinium iii. takes the beat information that echonest finds and renders it using the beat information from another song. interesting result.

 

also i can't really take credit. i'm just messing around with examples here. give me a few weeks/months and i might have something interesting, though. this is a helluva learning experience.

[Guest futuregirlfriend]

If anyone remembers the songsmithed Qur'an reading I posted ages ago, disparaissant is responsible for that. Still got any of that audio you could swing?

[Guest disparaissant]

aw man, i don't. that was from a record i got out of my neighbor's trash back when i lived in madison, but my turntable is currently sans needle...

[baph]

Oh mah deity, those are wunnerful, disparaissant.

[Guest Space Coyote]

any requests?

 

Yeah could you feed this through it for me please http://www.mediafire.com/file/zwmzgzyjjfo/Jerry Kelly Heating AND Air.mp3

[ericsosh]
