Did you hear about this? There’s this pretty new program that allows you to randomly make chopped up bits of music all kooky and stuff.
From the New York Times:
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.
It allows users to search for words ? like “Presley” and “love” ? in areas of the Internet where MP3 song files are, for the most part, illicitly swapped. But the program is not designed to play complete tunes. As N.A.G. retrieves song files labeled with the selected words, it slices off audio snippets and blends them into sonic collages.
Get the full story.
The program was created by Jason Freeman, a 25-year-old New York composer and media artist, and can be downloaded here.
