Like Jazz? Use YouTube To Create Your Own Jams

Too agoraphobic to make it to one of those outdoor jazz concerts? Well, then, check out YouTube Free Jazz, an interesting little digital art project that makes music from noise.

YouTube Free Jazz was created by new media artist David Kraftsow, who previously created such innovations as First-Person Tetris (an online game in which the screen rotates every time you move a piece) and YouTube Rave (which turns any YouTube video into a party).

Visit the site and YouTube Free Jazz will create a sound collage from random YouTube videos, reminiscent of jazz. You can type new keywords to create more mashups based on videos with that keyword.

It might not be as pleasing to the ear as the real deal, but, hey, it’s free.
