Dvorak vs. Black Eyed Peas

Dvorak vs. Black Eyed Peas

maudlin says...

The creator of the mashup modestly describes his achievement:

Not that I mind the allegations of "genius," but Michael Vanderwheel is right that the software did most of the heavylifting. Musically it's a fairly obvious thing to do -- the hook of the Black Eyed Peas song is the same tune as the beginning of the Dvorak theme, and it's a pretty famous theme. But the Dvorak was in entirely the wrong key, at entirely the wrong tempo, and the beat was far from steady. So I pitch-shifted the hell out of it (brought it down a 5th), and stretched and pinched each beat to make it fit the Black Eyed Peas tempo. That took a while, and it still isn't perfect--and you can hear some artifacts from the shifting and stretching. After that, the actual collaging of the hacked up Dvorak over the original was pretty easy.
