For those addicted to the 15-minutes-of-fame artist factory that is the internet, the name Lana Del Rey will certainly be familiar. The 25-year-old singer-songwriter from New York rose to internet fame-dom literally overnight after the release of her debut track and DIY music video, "Video Games." It's a simple, home-movies inspired cut that features vintage looking film and photos spliced together with Del Rey singing and flaunting an Angelina Jolie-worthy pair of lips. Her husky, sweet, sultry voice and old Hollywood glamor were enough to land her a “Best New Track” nod from Pitchfork, pretty much guaranteeing her a spot amongst indie royalty for the next year or so.As with most internet sensations, people love to love her and, even more so, to hate her, but with over 3 million views on YouTube in only 2 months, she’s certainly up for giving Rebecca Black a run for her money. And with all the attention, one can only expect that the Lana Del Rey remixes are going to start flooding YouTube any minute.To help ensure and expedite that, UK-based programmer and musician Arthur Carabott has just released a computer app via Molo Collective that lets you make changes to the song and video as you please, actively taking part in the collage-like style of the original. You can generate new sentences with algorithms and change the sequence of the lyrics, as well as add new effects and even amp up the beat to create a club-ready version of this post-modern ballad, as you see in the demonstration video above.The app is free and you can download it here, but it's only available for Mac users at the moment.Check out the official video below:
