A N I M O T O asks you for some photos, a song, and it will auto-magically create a really cool video photo show that  even analyzes the song's characteristics in order to create the specific effects. It's been around for a while, but it just recently moved out of the beta stage.  30-second clips can be created for free supporting around 12 photos, but longer videos can be purchased lasting for the duration of a given song (<10MB). You can upload your own photos, and even music, or you can choose from a selection they provide.

A video from TED showing new ways to think about, and experience music.

Tod Machover of MIT's Media Lab invented the musical technology behind Guitar Hero, and at TED2008 he talks about what's coming next. Listen for some brand-new ways to interface with music -- to play it, compose it, enjoy it. Machover then introduces Dan Ellsey, a composer with cerebral palsy who uses the lab's tools to write and perform his own music. Ellsey conducts his "My Eagle Song," in a soaring performance that underscores music's power to give you chills.
