Mechanical Music / Mechanical Sound Design

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

Has no worth
I’m gonna repeat since you didn’t understand it the first time. Just cause you don’t get it doesn’t mean it has no worth. It’s satirical trap music.

musical

What the hell are musicals? It appears to be a play where the dialogue stops And the plot is conveyed through song Through song? Wait, so an actor is saying his lines and then Out of nowhere, he just starts singing? Well, that is the Stupidest thing that I have ever heard You're doing a play, got something to say So you sing it? It's absurd! Who on earth is goin' to sit there While an actor breaks into song? What possible thought could the audience think Other than, "This is horribly wrong?" Remarkably, they won't think that (Seriously? Why not?) Because, it's a musical, a musical And nothing's as amazing as a musical With song and dance, and sweet romance And happy endings happening by happenstance Bright lights, stage fights and a dazzling chorus
You wanna be great, then you gotta create a musical I don't know, I find it hard to believe

Some make you happy
Some make you sad
Some are quite big
Some quite small
Some are too long
Some are just plays with song (oh)
Some musicals have no talking at all
(No talking at all?)
That's right, there's no talking
All of the dialogue is sung in a very dramatic fashion
(Um, really?) Yes, really
(There's no talk?) There's no talking
And they often stay on one note for a very long time
So that when they change to a different note, you'll notice
And it's supposed to create a dramatic effect
But mostly you just sit there asking yourself
"Why aren't they talking?"
(Sounds miserable) I believe it's pronounced "Misérables"
I was in a musical dancer kicked in unison in one big wonderful line!!!
