Microsound RNDTXT project

artist: Spagirus (Gregory Elliott)

type of work: audio piece exploring Burroughs style cut up techniques 
with a dialogue between text, computer data, and sound.

title of work: Up Spam Cut

contact: Spagirus@chaosmagic.com

The first thing I did for this audio piece was to take the RNDTXT file and run
it through a William S. Burroughs style cut up machine called Grazulis (it can 
be found and downloaded at http://web.ukonline.co.uk/gary.leeming/ ). I also ran
the phrase 'cut up spam' in the cut up machine to get the title for the work.
After I cut up the text a few times this way I opened the .txt file as a wave
in Cool Edit. From there I stretched and cut up the wave. Then I used Pure
Data to do all of the processing, effects, editing, etc. to make the final piece. 
Of particular mention here, I used Derek Holzer's Particle Chamber abstraction 
for PD (thanks to Derek for a great app) in addition to my own various PD 
patches.
