Audio remix of Eastern Standard Tribe

Corlin has produced a really interesting audio remix of Eastern Standard Tribe:

1) Record a page of text with Apple speech. (voice "Vicky") No editing this is just a straight read.

2) Run this audio file through "MetaMix", recording the output again...

MetaMix cuts any audio file into chunks of a set duration then plays these chunks back in a preset algorithmic way.

To make smoother transitions from one chunk to the next, MetaMix actually overlaps up to six chunks at a time. As a new chunks gradually fades in, an older chunk gradually fades out. This not only makes the sound more connected, but it can also create interesting composite textures.

    I like! That has a really nifty feel to it. It brings certain Radiohead tracks to mind (in a good way, of course).

    Good stuff Corlin.

    Reminds me more of Yazoo. All it needs is some Vince Clarke synth flourishes.

The power of Eastern Standard Tribe draws on traditional storytelling elements — tight plotting, sharp characterization and keen thematic treatment. The novel is immediately accessible, the near-future setting all too familiar. Despite the shifting between chronologies and tenses (first- to third-person throughout), Doctorow maintains an unrelenting pace; many readers will find themselves finishing the novel, as I did, in a single sitting.
