Leafcutter John's CD Minifuck

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.

That does sound cool....might go and try it out on the Macs
here if I get sometime this week...

Didn't OVAL do something very similar?...using SAWII as it's
cutup material....

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."
