granulation

Used by corporate management, this describes the process of extracting data from an information system in order to specify particular elements of a simplified process for cost effectiveness purposes.

The term "granulation" was first recorded in the region which we know now as Belgium, from the well renowned Professor of applied Business Strategy and Nuclear Science Wim Van Den Berghen Pruden to define the descriptive relationship between business and nuclear weapons in 1947.

This data is over-granulated.

Granular synthesis

Granular Synthesis is the method of dissecting sampled audio or generated sound waves into tiny segments of generally only fifty to few hundred milliseconds. These segments can then be manipulated further. Pitch, duration and delay of grains can usually be edited to attain effects such as a "grain cloud."

Granular synthesis is used to make many reverberating, ambient sound-scapes used in film scoring.

Software Examples:

gwan

slang from Cork city in Ireland - short for "go on". The term made it's made to the Carribean while Irish slaves were shipped there in the 16th and 17th centuries. Slang Irish terms like this then made their way into the Carribean "patois", particularly Jamaica, where "gwan" is pronounced and used in exactly the same way as in Cork city in Ireland.
