On Wednesday, Verizon introduced its Beatbox Mixer, an interactive video and music tool, which enables users to blend digitally recorded video tracks from artists into mixes of their own. Verizon describes it as a “cutting-edge cross between a music video, video game, and a drum machine.”

Users can blend up to three tracks of music and video to create unique mixes, and then save and share them. The Verizon Beatbox Mixer supports the company’s “Richer, Deeper, Broader” branding theme with the real-time impact of a powerful broadband experience.

Brian Price, executive director of Verizon’s Online Center of Excellence said, “The Verizon Beatbox Mixer is an engaging, interactive tool that again demonstrates our passion for the creation of the richest experience possible. It gives the user a full experience — a visual and aural experience as if the user is in a recording studio creating these mixes with the beatboxers. These beatbox sounds are unique and have a universal appeal because the sounds are fascinating and are made vocally without any instruments. Adding to the fun, the individual mixes can be saved and e-mailed to friends.”
