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 Chezzy Musicmug. Try to get through the whole entire month of March without listening to a single song.
Rule 1. You must drive with no radio
Rule 2. Wearing noise canceling headphones is okay if it means you’ll drown out music with white noise per se. This can especially come in handy for trips to the store
Rule 3. Video game OSTs are not allowed either. Turn it off completely
Rule 4. Completely stop listening to music in any way, shape, or form for this entire month and try not to go insane
