so yeah i'm using the Echo Nest Analyze service to analyze
musics. It gives you pretty fancy information about the
timbre and pitches of each tiny event in a piece of music...
so it provides data sets for computationally enhanced
sampling. in the vid above i've just reordered everything in
the song ramping from sharp sounds to muffled sounds.

Is the analysis performed in real time?

no sadly not. you send the mp3 file to echo nest and get
back an .xml file containing the analysis data.
you can do all sorts of real time magic with the data later
on of course... but it's not made for live music i guess.
though the analysis itself only takes a couple seconds. so
you could build something like this:

sound generator makes sound > audio file renderer > mp3
compressor > upload, analyze > map reults to audio file.
wouldn't be real time, but maybe kind of fast enough for
smaller files.

also you need to upload a file only once, echo nest has a
memory.

i'm working on writing a wrapper object for audio files now,
i.e. making the analysis part of a songs metadata, so i get
a pool of analyzed musics where samples can be real-time
picked from as needed.

also, which song would you like to have timbre-sortered?

None at the mo :) It's interesting and massively useful and
if you were working with a DJ I guess you'd do the analysis
on the track listing before hand and it would be gravy.

I'm going to invest in looking at this when I have some free
time.

It looks boring and sounds shit. So, well done, I guess.
