[Rumori] Timelapse

[James Allenspach]

If you liked Chartsweep, why not try Timelapse?

"a total of 857 songs that topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart between
1958 & 2000, summarized as a sequence of 1 second time-lapsed versions
for every week the original songs spent at No. 1. the result, called
"Billboard," traverses 42 years of pop music history in 37 minutes,
with songs appearing & disappearing every few seconds. some intriguing
patterns emerge, such as the influence of the different Billboard
ranking algorithms & the changing focus on music instruments over time."

Unlike Chartsweep, Timelapse is a purchaseable product (I hope the artist
got sampling rights to all 857 songs):

Also check out Academy, a video project also done by this artist, in
which he compressed the video and sound for each Best Picture Oscar
winner into a single minute each:
