Multivocal interface to remixing
Submitted by BboxX on Fri, 2006-03-24 18:14Check out this article on sCrAmBlEd?HaCkZ!, a system that uses audio input (singing, beatboxing, talking, screaming) to remix audio and music videos. Basically, it
- Splits your input into musically significant parts
- Searches the database for the closest matching audio signature
- Remixes the video clips to match your input
Watch the video for a good explination and examples. Very cool stuff, this is what my MBX project would have loved to grow up to be.

Hillbilly beatboxing
Submitted by BboxX on Tue, 2006-03-14 15:14NPR : Jimmie Riddle and the Lost Art of Eephing:
The eccentric Southern tradition of 'eephing' is best described as the hillbilly equivalent of the hip-hop human 'beat box' vocal style -- a kind of hiccupping, rhythmic wheeze that started in rural Tennessee more than 100 years ago...
A short audio story on eephing + some examples including an Evolution Control Committee remix of Jimmie Riddle.
BBC Beatboxing documentary
Submitted by BboxX on Tue, 2006-03-14 13:49I found this cool little beatboxing documentary from BBC's 1Xtra:
Human beatboxing used to be the stuff of comedy films, a hip hop relic put on the shelf along with the Fatboys.
But new talent like Rahzel and UK-born Killa Kela have heralded a resurgence in the artform in the last few years.
We find out how beatboxing has lost its novelty tag and gained credibility. We catch up with originators like Doug E Fresh as well as asking where it's going now.
Plus there's a chance to get a tips from the experts in our own 1Xtra beatboxing lesson. It’s a chance to do the click roll and vocal scratch with the best of them!
