I can’t help but feel like I’m seeing something fundamental and ground-breaking when I watch the video of Sven König demonstrating his music video reassembly software. I’ve never seen anything use the voice of an MC to query a database and build not only music, but music video out of it. The result is remarkable. I can only imagine where it will lead, but I know it will be somewhere cool.
The first thing I can think of would be to use it strip out the video and use it to drive GarageBand. Pick an idom and a spectrum of samples and start humming. Instant composition. Imagine instantly turning your voice into a symphony. Make it respond to the volume of your voice by adding instruments.
Or, one could build a database of video imagery that coincides with sounds that we know evoke a certain emotional response. Mastering that spectrum with the voice and enhancing it with video using Scrambled Hackz would be a powerful therapeutic or (gulp) non-therapeutic tool.
I could keep coming up with applications, but I have client who needs a website…click to go to youtube and watch the video. This is a clear mark on the timeline folks. Enjoy.
Oh, I smell a Bobby McFerrin comeback…
