Andy BaioLouie Zong asked people to send him clips of themselves singing a note. He got over 200 of them, freaked out, and eventually turned them into a musical keyboard to make songs with. Here's the first one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SpmYHPQdIs0

Reminds me of Ze Frank's "Chillout" from 2010, made from audio recordings over 30 people sent him, all singing the same chorus independently. The Flash page he made for it is long-dead, but he tells the story in this TED talk here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gSSNHO1dDs#t=14m21s

Also shades of Kutiman's brilliant Thru You album, mashed up entirely from found YouTube clips, and its sequel, Thru You Too. https://thru-you.com/

Christa Mrgan@andybaio I was just thinking of these albums the other day! So good. I feel like we’re missing a lot of the kindness, weirdness, and brilliance of the period between 2000-2014ish. Maybe I’m just cynical, or maybe I’m missing where it’s happening now (likely TikTok)
poswald@Antichrista @andybaio I sometimes fear we forget how groundbreaking these kinds of experiments were for their times…
