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

  Quote

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:

gantz graf this African American

what happens if you use this on a swingin' jazz tune?

its the same api as donkdj. i need a project, ima install it.

ps http://www.donkdj.com/remix/42391-Autechre-gantz-graf-donk-remix

pps gonna do a swing version of gantz graf once i figure this shit out, im not so good with python. any other requests?

second thought fuck it, python in windows sucks and i really cant be bothered to setup a vm or anything

sucks

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.

good work :)

Do Emotinium?

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.

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?

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...

Oh mah deity, those are wunnerful, disparaissant.

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

The reverse has also been done: http://hpyblg.wordpress.com/2010/06/06/taking-the-swing-out-of-songs/
