autotune

[johncomic]

I hope: that autotune is like disco -- something that lends an electronic sameness to popular music, making pretty much all artists sound interchangeable... something that enjoys a brief vogue for a few years [although it feels like it drags on forever] but eventually everyone gets tired of it.

I fear: that autotune is like multitracking or click tracks -- something that is seen as an indispensable tool for making recorded music sound “good”... something that those who record popular music will never voluntarily do without, now that they have it at their disposal.

Time will tell, I suppose...

Ummm.... interesting. Well done. Fun. And yes, I would call this “valid comics” in that the images do add meaning to the whole thru their interactions with the text. Even though these guys don't draw. [If I were to say that foto-comics aren't really comics, Scott McCloud would never forgive me. ;) ]

However, I'm also tempted to toss out there the idea that, if their graphics were created by an artist, it might make for a “fuller comics experience”. But I'm not sure if that's just kneejerk prejudice on my part, and also not sure if that's irrelevant to what these guys are wanting to achieve.
