[Rumori] How to Make a Sonic Pure From Pop Snippets

[Steev Hise]

nytimes article about some software that auto-collages music from
the internet.

not a terribly new idea for us here, but hey it's the new york
times.

tho i could have sworn mirapaul got fired a few years ago. hmm.

(btw - i am just SO glad mashups are called that now instead of
the previous moniker of "bootlegs". was that just a bad dream?)

smh

How to Make a Sonic Pur=E9e From Pop Snippets
By MATTHEW MIRAPAUL

Elvis Presley sounded all shook up. As his music streamed from a
computer's speakers, he sang, "You ain't nothin' but a hound dog/ don't be
cruel." Then, after urging listeners to avoid contact with his blue suede s=
hoes,
he crooned, "Hallelujah."

This mangled medley was not remixed by a mischievous D.J. Instead, the
mismatched music was generated by new software. N.A.G., as the interactive
program is called, works like a cross between Google, the Morpheus music
file-sharing network and a Cuisinart kitchen appliance.
