TOWNSHEND CREATES MUSIC-WRITING SOFTWARE

THE WHO rocker PETE TOWNSHEND has created a pioneering new computer program which can turn anyone into a songwriter - including his girlfriend's dog.

Townshend hopes the new technology will inspire wannabe musicians to try their hand at songwriting, because the program is so user-friendly.

He says, "You can put data in and get a piece of music out. It's as simple as that."

The rocker also confessed to using his girlfriend's dog as inspiration for his music-making.

He adds, "I, as a composer, would try to get something out of this dog that would give me the chance to turn the dog into music...

"I might listen to the way it breathes, I might touch it and see how it feels, I might listen to its bark, I might look at the rhythm of his running."
