And the Beat Goes On

The latest craze: "auto-tuning" the news, courtesy of Antares Audio Technologies. Here's a clip from CNN. The creators include social commentary in their tune-ups, creating clips one can then deconstruct. Included here is part of Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech. Here are more auto-tune clips from the web. Here's info from NOVA on the technology.

Musicians debate the use of auto tune, which corrects pitch, for various reasons. Here is an article from MTV on Jay-Z's song "Death of Auto Tune."
