He wrote something to work out the beat of a piece of music, time-stretch the first half of each beat and time-shrink the second half. Ladeez gemmun, I give you: The Swinger. “Sweet Child O’ Mine” is probably my favourite here. My toddler daughter thinks all this stuff is fantastic. And my faith in anything on a recording having anything to do with anything a human played just dropped even further.

(Also from San Francisco Music Hack Day: Six Degrees Of Black Sabbath, which got me from Pink Floyd to VNV Nation in only eleven steps.)
