hi everybody!
my friends and I have started a mix tape club. basically, we dump
everything we are listening to on a CD and hand it out to all of our
friends. I'm 4 days late on the december deadline, and need to get
something in quick.
I've got all my tracks, but I'd really like to do something...errm,
strange with them. I read a post on reddit.com that feh can be used
to create collages of images:
http://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/akudo/feh_create_random_art_from_the…
is there an audio application that can make audio collages from audio
files? I understand that the end result would be somewhat strange,
and you might only get 1 out of 10 results that would be considered
listenable, but it might be fun to try anyway.
any ideas?

Not sure what kind of tools are out there but The Beatles did this kind of stuff
on Sgt Peppers and depending on your input files the output could be very
interesting. They took a tape of a fairground organ and reportedly cut it into ~8"
pieces which would match the tempo they were recording at, chucked the lot into
a bucket and directed the sound engineer to splice them all back together in
any arbitrary order that he could pick them out, reverse direction included.
That was 'high tech' at the time, the results were very good and are found on
'For the Benefit of Mr Kite'. You should be able to find some granular code that
can do similar stuff for you now though, this is pretty much granular synthesis
with a very large grain period.
The results are likely to be better if the different 'splices' have some degree of
consistency, ie, it would be what many people would call more musical however
dissonant pieces could be similarly interesting. The Beatles kind of used it for
effect however it did also have the result of moving the totally unrelated pipe
organ to be in a timescale related to their own recording, something that could
also be done with dissonant input material. Their work was mono however if you
do find granular code then it could easily be multiple layers superimposed on
each other.

very interesting idea! I have never used it, but could 'sox' be
helpful? there's also a "Input File Combining" section in the man

On the more complex (and more interesting) side is supercollider

if you have python installed, you shold be able to run it with

python audiocollage.py dir1 dir2 dir3 ...

Thanks, but Python 2.6 doesn't appear to be available for Debian Lenny.
I found a couple of web sites going through the complex process of
compiling it for Lenny, they mention the resulting packages might not be

indicated that the whole process was hairy and fraught with difficulties.
Bummer, I guess I'll just keep the script around until I get a Debian

I have looked at your script, which unfortunately doesn't work here, I
get "soxi FAIL formats: no handler for file extension `mp3'". Besides
that I have a couple of suggestions or thoughts, you might want to consider:
1) It's good practice to output some kind of help or usage message when
a program is called with no options. Right now I need to look at the
python code to tell what's going on.
2) You should try to avoid wrapping shell commands in os.system calls
whenever possible. Obviously the call to sox need to be that way, but
"touch" (for your need, that is create empty file) can be implemented in
python:
def touch(self, file):
if not os.path.exists(file):
f = open(file,"w")
f.write('')
f.close()
In general you should try to stick to python buildins, including using
tempfile.mktemp() for a tmp file instead of handling it yourself.
3) Although I did this myself, sox is not really nice to wrap in the
first place, since it sometimes changes the names of the arguments and
stuff like that. So your script might not work after the next upgrade of
sox :-(
4) I'm not sure mp3 files are the most obvious file format to work with,
any specific reason you're not working with simple .wav's?
Hope it's ok that I made these suggestions :-)

thanks, hadn't thought of defining touch like that and didn't know of

This might be an issue. You could however check along the way or up
front if the user is running out of space. Since it's only temporary,
it's not a big deal, unless of course you in fact run out of space
during the process. If you really only need a certain part of the output
in the first place a solution could be to output the whole file to wav
and then trim the unwanted snips off each file after converting it to wav.
Still if it's supposed to be used for anything serious, a lossy output
format is not the way to go.

Atte, as far as I remember, you use an Debian-based OS, don't you? In
that case, you need to install the "libsox-fmt-FILETYPE" package(s).
Some one or two years ago, file type support has been separated into a
number of packages. It's probably easiest to just use "aptitude install
libsox-fmt-all." ha, I guess the sox you have doesn't handle
mp3. does 'play file.mp3'
work? It was the first time I ever used sox so I'm no expert...
probably compile time options?
No:
atte@vestbjerg:~/tmp/collage/licks$ play do_you_like_it.mp3
play FAIL formats: no handler for file extension `mp3'
Indeed a compile time option. Another reason to be extra careful with sox.

3) Although I did this myself, sox is not really nice
to wrap in the
first place, since it sometimes changes the names of the arguments and
stuff like that. So your script might not work after the next upgrade of
sox :-(
In a completely different situation I want throught this same dilemma
and finally concluded that the only alternative for scripting some
sensible audio manipulation of that kind after some research was wave or
snak. I finally went for calling sox through subprocess... Would be nice
if sox functionality were in some python library.

And very happy, too.
It does sound like fun. Where can we find audiocollage.py?

HA! I did it! It took me 5 days to learn enough python and sox, but I
did it! It has worked so far for me, but it's very experimental (it's
my first non trivial python program). I wouldn't be surprised at all if
it didn't somehow work...
if you have python installed, you shold be able to run it with
./audiocollage.py dir1 dir2 dir3 ...
or
python audiocollage.py dir1 dir2 dir3 ...
where dir1 etc. are the directories containing mp3's. Unfortunately I
wasn't able to make it go check recursively.... any ideas? BTW it will
catch only .mp3 files, not .MP3 or other
it will then ask for an ouput file, you can type
file.ext
where file is the name you want for the collage and ext can be mp3,
ogg,wav...anything sox supports
oh obviously you need sox installed
I think that's all, it's been great fun writing it and using it (I
love how much music goes in 3 minutes), hope it's usefull
have I said I'm very proud of myself? very interesting idea! I have never used it, but
could 'sox' be
helpful? there's also a "Input File Combining" section in the man
page...
ah! I'll look into that tonight. thanks for the tip!
