From the always-stimulating Music Machinery comes this computational remix of the Nickelback song “Burn it to the Ground” (that one that was nominated for a Grammy).

Because, as we know, all Nickelback songs sound the same, he used the Echo Nest Analyze API to take the song and compare it to itself, replacing each little segment of it with the most similar-sounding segment from elsewhere in the song. The video is re-arranged to match, and it is surprisingly listenable (whereby I mean it doesn’t sound like computer-thrashed samples—it still sounds like Nickelback).
