A blog for all things floating in our atmosphere.

Under da… what.

If there’s one thing that computers have been proven not to do, it is write music. They can, however, create hilarity! The example above is what happens when you place the raw vocals of The Police’s Roxanne through the oddity of a program that is Microsoft Songsmith. Apparently you sing vocals to a drum beat, and it writes the backing tracks for you. There’s an 8 hour trial. Oh I could have fun with this. Stay tuned.

For more ridiculous “what if…” Songsmith situations, check out azz100c’s profile on YouTube. It particularly butchers The Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. Apparently they’re far too complex for it!

Herders

Leif writes words, music, code and bug reports; somehow he's still sane.

Nickherder is a science and engineering kind of guy, but we forgive him for it.

SaRRa is using her fancy university degree to blog.
