Swing Party

Shout out to synthgear.com for bringing this to my attention....

Tristan Jehan coded a bit of software in the Python language which makes ANY music swing. its kind of amazing, and it doesn't even sound like acidized underwater ableton madness:

Daft Punk - "Around the World"
Around the World - the swing version by plamere

Guns and Roses - "Sweet Child O' Mine"
Sweet Child O' Mine (Swing Version) by plamere

Metallica - "Enter Sandman"
Enter Sandman- the Swing Version by plamere

Explore your inner nerd - download Python for mac windows or whatever the hell weird phone thing you carry with you and check out the code for this swing mania...

I can see some definite awful / wonderful remixes blends and sampling coming out of this little bit of code........get to it!!

June 08, 2010 | 1:44 AM Posted by: Baby Armie I talked to a guy back in '05 who claimed to have code that would do the same thing. He sent "Da Funk" in 6/4 time as an example, but the down beat wasn't time stretched, so it made the song a lot faster. He never shared the code with me. Wonder if it's the same dude.

You know the celebrity, Wolverine, who's in all these action movies!??! Well that dude used to tell everyone his name was Stanley – (maybe it was!) not Wolverine mind you – and I guess he used to be such a bad ass hacker he became rich, BUT EVEN COOLER THEN THAT he got to see Halle Berry's tits as a reward for programming a nerdier version of Tetris, check it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmR3wIBJZbk also he might have gotten to see the tits because he made hackers seem even dorkier, because what assfuck would waste a nice Beaujolais just playing fuckin tetris!?!?
