Writing a Christmas Song Using Data Science
- framebit 9y agoThis brings to mind last year's AI-generated festive tune: https://vimeo.com/192711856 https://vimeo.com/192711856
- JasonFruit 9y agoWhich got its own studio recording, which was maybe not an improvement: https://www.reverbnation.com/heathallyn/song/27160680-ai-christmas-carol https://www.reverbnation.com/heathallyn/song/27160680-ai-chr...
- framebit 9y ago^^ I also just heard this for the first time today, and it made my entire day. That dude needs a Grammy!
- strictnein 9y agoUnless the song is called "Error establishing a database connection", I think the site is down.

- ape4 9y agoI want to know how to avoid Christmas songs.
- colejohnson66 9y agoDon’t go outside
- andrewflnr 9y agoOr go very, very, very far outside. Like, into the woods. This may be necessary if you have inconsiderate neighbors playing Christmas music you can hear through the walls.
- creep 9y agoI came home yesterday and started singing a particularly famous christmas song that I will not name in fear of infecting you with the virus. But I hadn't heard the song anywhere, or at least I could not remember. Out loud, I began to sing it, right there in the kitchen, and when I realized it I felt fear. Now it's gone again, and I don't know when it'll come back.
- plussed_reader 9y agoWas the weather outside frightful? That's what came to mind reading your comment.
- creep 9y agoPlease don't do this
- colejohnson66 9y agoI was thinking of that one called “Merry Christmas” in Spanish
- strictnein 9y agoI really enjoy how the song is from the viewpoint of the Christmas tree itself.
- bazzargh 9y agoThe article says the longest Christmas song is 16.5 mins... not even close. I know, it's just the songs that matched their keywords... but Lindstrøm did a Christmas-cheer-draining 42 minute long version of Little Drummer Boy a few years back https://www.theguardian.com/music/2009/dec/11/lindstrom-little-drummer-boy https://www.theguardian.com/music/2009/dec/11/lindstrom-litt... - and yes, it's a real thing on vinyl, not just another youtube '10h of jingle bells'.

- irrational 9y agoI thought for sure this article was going to be in reference to the work of Dr Joe Bennett, a Boston Conservatory musicologist, who supposedly created the perfect Christmas song after analyzing the 200 most popular Christmas songs. I was surprised, but it's actually quite good. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-5143323/Scientist-finds-formula-perfect-festive-tune.html http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-5143323/Scien...
