How to record a song in six minutes

Advertisement

A new installation in London provides a means for anyone to make a song, complete with video, in six minutes.

The Youth Music Box is a mix of digital instruments, software, and recorded melodies and samples from professional musicians.

Visitors choose a genre of music, providing a basic beat, and get a chance to practice on keyboards, drums, or a turntable.

A one-minute recording session of the song is filmed by cameras run remotely and the video is uploaded automatically to charity Youth Music's website.
