The term "Mechanical Music" is used when, for example, a music track (usually electronic music) is characterized by elements of "mechanical sound design."
"Mechanical sound design" refers to the use of techniques such as time stretching, re-pitching, and looping (typically with very tight or extremely long loop times) in the sound design process.
IMPORTANT: The warping algorithms offered by Ableton Live are originally the main solution for achieving mechanical sound design in its true essence (beats mode, re-pitch).

Example: I take an electronic music track and stretch it to extreme levels (700-800-999 bpm) until I get interesting textures both audibly and creatively, using Ableton warping modes like beats or re-pitch. Then I can chop most interesting parts to obtain Mechanical Music / Mechanical Sound Design

Get the Turn My Head Into Sound mug.A small liberal arts college situated in Tacoma, Washington. Referred to as UPS, Puget Sound, or The Puge by its students. Said students love insisting how they are all "So QuIrKy AnD dIfFeReNt" when in reality, they can all be categorized as:
1). Pretentious Bay Area snobs who couldn't get into University of Washington and love cosplaying poor whilst posing Instagram stories of their lavish spring breaks in Phuket.
2). White women (and some men) who flaunt how liberal and anti-racist they are, despite making some highly questionable/disconnected comments regarding people of color and getting offended if anyone where to dare point out their very obvious social privilege.
3). Men who delusionally think that feminism is a myth and consent is optional whilst wearing crop tops and pretending to be gay/bisexual for the sole purpose of sleeping with women.
4). Everybody else (people of color, trans people, disabled people, etc.) who got lured into coming to Puget Sound due to the so-called "progressive campus culture" and scholarships that will only be revoked within a couple of years.
The campus is notoriously cliquey; students are united by the common UPS culture of being nice to your face and gossiping behind your back. Social events are few and far between, especially if you don't like second-rate parties and excessive drinking. Greek Life is an entirely separate bubble from the rest of campus full of petty drama, social engineering, and cultish fervor.

The University of Puget Sound is a great school if you are rich, white, cisgender, and fully-abled!
I went to University of Puget Sound because they gave me a really good scholarship. Too bad they raised the cost of tuition so high that the scholarship doesn't even matter!
Here at the University of Puget Sound, we believe that SA survivors should get no support or justice whatsoever, because that requires us to make an effort for our students!
