Been developing some vocal chopping algorithms. So much fun. This one is built around the beginning of Samia's song "Sea Lions". The algorithm plays little chunks of this audio clip - choosing the start point and the playback speed at at random. Like some sort of broken, glitching playback machine.
Meanwhile, I am live-mixing. I don't know exactly what the algorithm is going to do. In a sense, it sings to me, and in an effort to support what it generates, I adjust parameters like EQ, noise level, and reverb.
There are moments that just *hit*, and you'll see my live reaction here. I especially love when the reverb dries up and vocals come through as they are. In direct contrast to moments of big reverb, the transition to dry vocals gives a very intimate and honest impression - as if to say, "Yeah, but this is how I really feel." - I love that so much.
