about

These tracks were all created through importing other artists' tracks in .m4a format into Audacity (Version 1.2.6). Generally, importing .m4a in this way results in a fractional-second digital glitch. Using various time and pitch transformations in Audacity and sometimes Soundhack, I attempted to magnify these glitches so that their rich sonic landscape could be explored further. Presently, the full 24 minute piece has been split into two tracks. Please enjoy.

Created by Dan Letourneau, with Audacity and Soundhack. Mixed and Mastered at CalArts, November 2010.

If you are an artist whose work has been used to create these tracks, congratulations on figuring it out.
