Back in 2009, BSc Creative Computing Student Eric Brotto released his final year project as on the iPhone app store. The app uses real time audio analysis and manipulation technology on a mobile phone to create a rap soundtrack from a users voice.
From the app store site: “Now you can be a rapper! iMC Rap Maker you talking and then transforms it into a rap song. Syncing your voice to the beat and even adding DJ scratches to your vocal means you get a Hip Hop hit produced by you. You can then share your creation with your friends via Facebook and SoundCloud. Download your iMC today!”
Eric Brotto is now mentor-in-residence at Startup Reykjavik Accelerator Programme, co-founder of Creative Bytes Worldwide, and content creator for DECODED.
