I don’t know how many of you have come across Microsoft’s “SongSmith” yet, but it’s their new program that “creates” “music” to go along with data, or more usefully, your voice. Thank god! My future has finally arrived! Anyone can become a internationally successful recording artist with the help of a computer (after all, the RIAA keep telling us that they can’t afford to keep making music on our behalf).

They’ve been trying to promote it with this absoloutely terrible (yet awesome in every conceivable way) advertisment they’ve posted online, which ironically almost exclusively features Macs. (Those stickers aren’t fooling anyone YOU IDJETS!

The best SongSmith tune I’ve heard so far, is the one generated to a whole bunch of miserable, “end-of-the-world” type data. It’sunsettlingly jolly! Check it out below.

EDIT: This competes for the best tune title, Billy Idol’s White Wedding Bluegrassified!
