Ok, so this week we have something a bit different: mad German musician feeds stock market results into Microsoft’s Songsmith program and generates graphs set to music …

True, it all sounds horribly cheerful and cheesy but maybe that’s the point: if I was a stockbroker, this infuriating muzak would be enough to push me over the edge … though I hate to think what the diabolical contraption would play if it was fed a graph of my plunging descent to the pavement.

“Crisis sounds so cool!”, says composer Johannes Kreidlerc of his “melodien aus Aktienkurven, arrangiert mit der Microsoft Komponiersoftware ‘Songsmith’.

To which the only sane reply is: come back Kraftwerk, all is forgiven…

Thanks to Metro’s always amusing Ridiculant blog for this one.
