The Bonhamizer

Here’s my Music Hack Day San Francisco hack: The Bonhamizer.  This hack lets you hear what it would be like if John Bonham was in your favorite band.

It works pretty well on many songs, and not so well on others. I hope to smooth out the rough edges in the next few days. Here are some of my favorites:

    Hello Paul,
    I actually took the same Bonzo drum tracks and made a rock/hip hop song that I just uploaded to your site. Give it a listen without the Bonhamization. It’s already in there!

    Funny application. I don’t know why it didn’t let me play a song that was already uploaded, but i finally got it to work i’ve uploaded a mp3.

    sounds good! Nice work with following the dynamics of the song. I just discovered that it has a great glitch effect if you keep it running in a background tab (at least for me – chrome windows 7)
