sCrAmBlEd?HaCkZ! is a Realtime-Mind-Music-Video-Re-De-Construction-Machine.

This app interprets the sonic signature of a sound sample that you provide (eg. beatboxing) and recreates it as components from a sampled music video

ha i love this guy's accent

juicymango juicymangoOG 2003

yeah i don't get this

iwz iwz

the video makes it pretty clear, no?

juicymango juicymangoOG 2003

yeah i watched the whole video and i don't really get the appeal.. it just kind of sounds like noise

iwz iwz

oh yeah, a lot of it does sound like noise, but it's a really cool study of tech and art mixing in an odd way.

i think it'd be really cool to mess around with

juicymango juicymangoOG 2003

i like the concept and the technology and whatnot but the actual result was not as cool as i thought it would be

iwz iwz

i must agree

bingo

yay yayOG 2004

ok credit for figuring out how to do this

but my opinion.... seriously this isn't anything insane, i don't imagine this being very complicated to program, just about every audio editor will splice clips, quantinize, stretch timing, without altering these days, he just found a way to take some sampled digitization and store it for comparison

and honesty it sounds annoying and looks annoying

but i could see this being really awesome if he could get much longer durations in there, or if it could morph the sounds together to clean out the harsh transitions

but, hey, it's real-time. that's something.

yeah. I gotta agree with you there. the results are under-whelming. cool application of technology though. I liked the explanation of vectors in a 3-dimensional space of music sample data.

yeah, kinda interesting but mostly not that cool
