What is essential for processing sounds?

"Nothing is essential. I use anything that s
up sound. Analogue, digital, anything. I use
lots of compression and EQ, and I use stuff
which is not made for processing sound like
wordprocessors and photoshop etc. "

anyone have any ideas on what he's on about
here?

Listen to some of Speedy J's stuff and you'll exactly what he's on about. Speedy J is sick. COmpletely out of hand. His stuff has to have some of the loudest nastiest sounds I've ever heard. Check out 'A Shocking Hobby'. AMAZING music.

theoretically you can use any stream of data to generate sound. It just takes an algorithm.

Ever take 2-100 samples of any track and loop it? Wonderful waveforms. You could make a complex wave out of your resume and play it. Or use the text stream from a Word file and translate it to 8-bit MIDI data to modulate parameters of a pulsing pad.

Alternative controllers aren't talked about much nowadays beyond knob and slider boxes, but there's a fanatic group of electro geeks who love this shit. A class I took at Berklee had a demo of a Nintendo Power Glove this guy wired up to transmit 3 streams of controller data at once (one for each axis), with one-shot sample triggers for the buttons. It was sick stuff. I still have my power glove back home in the attic somewhere...

Listening to Speedy J now. Don't hear a word file yet but it's pretty damn cool.

Lots of noise enthusiasts have been doing the "non-audio" processing for years. Take a bmp file and turn it into a RAW file for instance (simply change the .bmp to .raw) and play it in sound forge or sumpin'. Very evil noises. Some stuff just sounds like... well, noise, but some images will give you some very tasty sounds. Lots of progs can be used to torment a poor audio signal... Dr. Jest is in the house.....

yeah...he loads raw audio into photoshop and then fucks around witht the different filters: contrast, colours etc before saving it back as raw audio.
