Mic In Track Sometimes, people recording their voices on their home computers accidentally make the recording available via Kazaa or other file-sharing network. And sometimes, a mischeivious composer known as Stark Effect remixes those recordings into songs, which can be incredibly catchy, surprisingly wistful, or just sweet.

  • Brilliant. I really dug Testing 1-2-3
  • That's fabulous! "Testing 1-2-3" was OK, but I have got to add "Bunnyrabbits, Satan, Cheese & Milk" to my regular playlist.
  • Fantastic! Testing 1-2-3 is my fave, too. For those of you out there with a few hundred dollars to spend and a bit of time to learn the software, you can pretty much make your own versions of things like this using Melodyne by Celemony (which is quite a powerful bit of software which you can get pretty cheap) and a synth program (there are tons of those). Melodyne Melodyne is my guess on the software that Stark Effect uses, as you can use it to quantize speech to fit a musical rhythm as well as change even flat spoken speech into a (sort of) sung melody.
