Electronic musician, vocalist, and inventor Tim Exile is back; while the Google Doodle today of an interactive Les Paul inspired lots of people to invest some time fiddling and hacking, in Tim’s case, it inspired a whole song. And, to my knowledge, it’s the first time the homepage of Google got its own ode.
Bet the Googlers didn’t expect this response.
All of this serves as a serious reminder: sometimes simple and ubiquitous is good. It also shows the serious value of silliness. Here, here.

Ha! Awesome. I had actually downloaded and edited all the guitar notes from Google today and started to compose something.
Then, within a few clicks I was distracted by something else and went on a long tangent…just like a Google search.
Any idea which tools he's using to create the looping and the beatsplicing?
I was pleasantly surprised when that little guitar thing popped up on Google this morning. Had fun playing with it for a few minutes, but my first thought was "I wonder how many people are going to create songs from this." Nice stuff.
Such a child is Tim Exile. Awesome. Always looks like he's having fun. That jumper is a heinous example of fashion. Excellent.
Daryl,
It's a custom Reaktor patch, but parts of it you can buy at NI as the Finger and Mouth.
No, finger and mouth are fx processors. To beat slice he uses another reaktor patch, cant remember it's name right now. there's a 'limited' version out there
His genius is easy to overlook if you're not into the sound. His knowledge and abilities from development to performance are a testament to his skill. Rare is the person who has such a deep understanding of music.
@yo-Keymasher?
Either way, gotta love Tim.
And what Peter said.
. . . when "his genius is easy to overlook if you're not into the sound," it's not genius anymore.
