I would be interested to see what happens when you do this to other types of music.
Markov models work well for almost every genre-- recompositions of classical or modal jazz tunes are particularly awesome.

Re: Infinite Gangnam Style
#42My 4 year old sat and watched and sung along with this in delight for about 30 minutes (when we turned it off, cause like, enough already...) Someone should analyze why this song is so catchy.
Actually, this is a fairly unusual song, in music theoretical terms. Almost all pop songs use the I, ii, IV, V, and VI chords, with popular progressions including I-IV-V, ii-V-I, and I-V-VI-IV. Since this is tonal music, it obviously includes the I chord. It does use only four chords, but they are uncommon. Most of the song uses the I chord (G major in this case), but during the buildup, it uses an surprising I-II-III-I-II-vii progression. The II and III chords aren't strictly in the key of the rest of the song, although they still blend well with the in-key chords. vii is just F# minor here, but it is not in the key of the rest of the song either. vii is not often seen in pop/rock/classical music; you often see vii° instead, since it is in-key. I can't argue with Psy's choices, though, since that little riff builds a lot of tension.

This isn't exactly a Markov model, although I reckon you could draw a mathematical connection.

#44Anybody else hate these jumps in commercials to fit the 30s or whatever budget they have? Always makes me wonder if they think noone would notice? Duh, of course people do! :) Btw, quick bug report: doesn't work for me if open in non-active tab in Chrome 22.0.1229.94 on Mac OS X 10.8. Good fun and now do an automated version where ppl can paste their youtube links. Greetings, lx
doesn't work for me if open in non-active tab in Chrome 22.0.1229.94 on Mac OS X 10.8 I can confirm this bug too.
That's just because Chrome throttles JS execution in background tabs to a crawl.

#45Done with bigger squares and optimized for a tablet, this would be a compelling UI for a live DJ performance.
This is how Ableton Live works (and Renoise introduced a similar live view a while ago), although of course it doesn't take any random audio file but rather your own compositions, written in Ableton.
you can use any audio in Ableton. a big draw is it's time warping tools which makes it easy to manipulate songs like this.
the real difference is Ableton doesn't have the ability to automatically chop the song into logical parts. Maschine can do this, but it doesn't automatically play subsequent parts based on properties on the current one.

#46It bugs and you can get trapped int the 40 boxes segment loop over and over again. (the last straight)

It seems to me that it is. Please explain how the markov property is violated?

Why would you say that? The author said them self that this works best in Safari and Chrome.

#50If you're using Chrome 22 (stable) on Win8, note that you need to switch to the beta or dev channels as the Win8 version of Chrome doesn't have web audio support until 23.0.1270.0
