Piotr (from the future)
Future Piotr
Originally uploaded by ravelite My colleague Piotr teaches a speech processing class, for which he recorded lots of speech samples as examples. During the semester, he got this message from a newly created hotmail account:
Hi Piotr,
I'm your future self, and I came here to reveal to you that in a near future you become a rock star and have millions of fans around the country. In order to prove it to you, I send you your first hit single, entitled Se llamaba Piotr.
Please confirm you have recieved it. I must go back to the future real soon, or I'll disappear into the darkness of time!
Enjoy!!!
Best regards,
Piotr from the future
which is pretty much the coolest student prank / weird compliment ever.

[Sure] ... although theoretically IP in this case is a bit complicated - the song is not mine because I did not make it. From the other side, the author does not want to reveal and he/she used my samples without permission - and theoretically my future self has written the song :). That means that the decision is mine :) ...
Happy birthday, Piotr!
