David Byrne: How architecture helped music evolve (TED2010) -
David Byrne postulates that venues (clubs, chapels, arenas, cars, mp3 players) shape music instead of the other way around. You could say he’s a step short of declaring a ‘survival of the fittest’ paradigm where the music best suited to the venue is the one that becomes successful.
Strangely, it kinda makes sense a little bit…
Lawrence Lessig: Re-examining the remix - TEDxNYED -

A product of Music Hack Day, this piece of Python code will apply ‘swing’ to any piece of music. How does it do it, you ask? Well, it alternatively ‘extends’ and ‘compresses’ (time-wise) the beats of a song, giving it that ‘daa-ts daa-ts’; or, swung note, if you’re more musically inclined.
I suppose this wouldn’t quite work with a band like Tera Melos. :D
