One Note Is Two In An Echo...

This comes in from Pete Townshend's website. For those familiar with Pete's catalogue, you may have heard of his attempt to create the Lifehouse Project (the actual project, not the album), whereby each visitor to his website was encouraged to contribute a single note, sound, word, etc.

What would happen then is that the resulting collection of this material would form a song. Could be a symphony, could be a cacophony.

But here's the newest idea. He's set up a website in conjunction with some math and techno geek to allow each visitor to "sit" for up to three musical portraits. You contribute a little material: a sample of your voice, a little sound, a melody perhaps and then the program creates for you an entire song.

You can download it and share it as you will, currently for free. The only downside to this is that the free deal runs out in August, requiring you to pay for a subscription if you choose to continue using the service.

Still, it's a fairly neat idea and worth checking out just for giggles!
