Hi! I've been working on improvements to the Mosaic system and have some brief audio demos to share. https://soundcloud.com/worcesterwave/sets/new-demos
I sliced seven Whitney Houston a cappella vocal recordings into a database of about 10,000 fragments, and did the same for Zoltan Kodaly's Sonata for Solo Cello. Then I experimented with matching these to each other and to Ligeti's piano etudes. Results are somewhat mixed but highly promising in my opinion. My choice of material is more or less arbitrary, and in some areas matching performance isn't great. (It's easy to silence incorrect matches in an editor, so this is still quite usable. But I want to constantly improve it.) But in other spots the matching is eerily appropriate! Especially when Paulstretched, I enjoy some of these as experimental "magnetic tape collage" pieces made out of various recordings. I just added a feature to set the lowpass cutoff of the spectra being compared during search, and that boosted the quality I think, hence my posting of some new sounds. Hope you enjoy!
