Auto-Tune the News

Studio 360

Take ordinary news footage and political commentary, send it through a software tool that makes you sound like a robot, and you have a viral internet hit. That’s what the band The Gregory Brothers did with their series “Auto-Tune the News.” Certain politicians and anchors are inherently musical, say the band members: “Katie Couric is the Queen of Auto-Tune.” Produced by Barrett Golding of Hearing Voices.
