The Swinger

You haven't lived until you've heard "Sweet Child o' Mine" as a swing tune!

The Swinger is a bit of python code that takes any song and makes it swing. It does this be taking each beat and time-stretching the first half of each beat while time-shrinking the second half. It has quite a magical effect.

Hear several examples at Music Machinery. Link -via Metafilter

I too love the White Rabbit vibe. But I have to wonder what real "swing" would sound like when filtered through this device. Probably messy.

As someone who came of age in the '60s, I kind of like the "White Rabbit" hack. Good find.
