The Infinite Jukebox

During a long study session sophomore year, my group listened to music in an infinite loop. I mentioned that it was upsetting that the amount of time that passed could be too easily realized each time the end of the song came. A fellow student showed me the infinite jukebox. It takes a song and plays it forever by finding similar spots within the song and randomly jumping back and forth. I was amazed that a song could be stitched together so seamlessly by a computer because I had previously done a bit of work trying to stitch songs together and found it to be a hard task.

It would be interesting to see this platform expanded to take several songs and play them together or mix songs over each other.

This project was made by Paul Lamere during the Music Hack Day Boston on November 11, 2012. It can be found at http://labs.echonest.com/Uploader/index.html.
