Not sure what kind of tools are out there but The Beatles did this kind of stuff <br>on Sgt Peppers and depending on your input files the output could be very<br>interesting. They took a tape of a fairground organ and reportedly cut it into ~8" <br>pieces which would match the tempo they were recording at, chucked the lot into<br>a bucket and directed the sound engineer to splice them all back together in<br>any arbitrary order that he could pick them out, reverse direction included.<br><br>That was 'high tech' at the time, the results were very good and are found on<br>'For the Benefit of Mr Kite'. You should be able to find some granular code that<br>can do similar stuff for you now though, this is pretty much granular synthesis<br>with a very large grain period.<br><br>
The results are likely to be better if the different 'splices' have some degree of<br>
consistency, ie, it would be what many people would call more musical however<br>
dissonant pieces could be similarly interesting. The Beatles kind of used it for<br>effect however it did also have the result of moving the totally unrelated pipe<br>organ to be in a timescale related to their own recording, something that could<br>also be done with dissonant input material. Their work was mono however if you <br>do find granular code then it could easily be multiple layers superimposed on <br>each other.<br><br>Regards, nick.<br><br>"we have to make sure the old choice [Windows] doesn't disappear”.<br>Jim Wong, president of IT products, Acer<br><br><br><br><br>> Date: Mon, 4 Jan 2010 10:29:09 -0600<br>> From: hardbop200@gmail.com<br>> To: linux-audio-user@lists.linuxaudio.org<br>> Subject: [LAU] audio collage?<br>> <br>> hi everybody!<br>> <br>> my friends and I have started a mix tape club. basically, we dump<br>> everything we are listening to on a CD and hand it out to all of our<br>> friends.
