Microsoft Songsmith friday fun

Posted on 111209 in friday, Microsoft and Songsmith

If you are not familiar with Microsoft Songsmith already you should check it out. Its a kind of reversed karaoke. You sing a song and Songsmith automatically generates the music suited for it. In this demo it gets clearer.

You can try Songsmith yourself here.

It might not be the most useful tool for a pro. Though I have to say the clips below are very funny. They used songsmith with the vocals from known hits. First out Motörhead - Ace of Spades!

Michael Jackson - Billie Jean

Beastie Boys - Intergalactic

I Have Synth

Biography:

Been into synthesizers for 15 years, but never a technical geek. I'm a member of the band Velours Perfect, and have had electronic music as a hobby since I stopped playing with G.I Joe Figures. I buy and sell synths all the time, sometimes manically, and my favourite synth varies, right now it is the Alesis Ion. On this blog you can read about whatever comes out of my mind, mostly synthesizer-related stuff though. Bzzt!

I'm also on Twitter, Tumblr, Facebook and off course Ihavesynth.
