Manipulate the sounds
When I was younger and had access to dubbing cassette decks and loads of free time on my hands, I used to create sound collages from bits of popular songs and television shows. For example, one I titled “Bob Bites Back” featured bits of Robert Smith of the Cure singing negative responses to other singers.
Jim Morrison: Hello.
Robert: Goodbye.
Stevie Wonder: I love you.
Robert: I hate you.
You get the idea…well, I was reminded of that today when I found the following link. It’s a “sound art project” where you type in a basic English sentence, then the computer creates an audio version of the sentence being “sung” by samples from various popular songs.
Quite interesting….

haha Your idea for a sound collage with Robert Smith answering other sings negatively is awesome, Andrew! I tried to use the “Let them sing it for you” thing, but it’s not working here at work. I’ll try at home.
