This guy is insaine. He is a prolific folk musician, he writes microsound music for Panet-µ records, he does bizarre flash animations, and he writes music software. Appearantly what this program does is it takes any music from cd, and fucks it up so it sounds like a leafcutter john track. I don't have a mac, so anyone who tries it out, tell me how it goes.

See http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/record-reviews/o/oval/ovalc... for a bit more info on OVAL & his use of SAWII...it's not the same as what Leafcutter John has done afterall although I think OVAL has done some software stuff...
From the link mentioned....
"In the watershed year 1994, the ambient label almost applied, due in part to Oval's composition process at the time. That year, Popp, along with then-collaborators Sebastian Oschatz and Frank Metzger, decided to take copies of Aphex Twin's Selected Ambient Works Volume II, apply a magic marker to the CD surface, and record and manipulate the ensuing tracking errors. This resulted in a beautiful audio object called Systemische, a record that proved hugely influential in the experimental electronic community. And yes, it was generally placid enough to be categorized alongside Music for Airports."
