The error, interminable source of inspiration

Until an obsolete speech seems, truth?, although to speak of anachronism with similar concepts is, of some way, curls the curl, to play to be brave. The digital error continues being an essential element in the contemporary creation and carrying it a little beyond, (now I refer to the error in general, to the slip), has been the motor of the evolution. " Only I observe that in the most sophisticated presentations, the errors tend to be a lot more interesting for the audience that the success", David said Zicarelli (the creator of MAX) in the 99. We recall the first disks of the singular Oval one, the father of the cd_bending (Dates Bending), whose sound managed to bordering cds with phosphorescent markers (causing random reflections in the laser of the reproductive one), and we put the example also of this esthetics applied to the visual thing, as is the case of the project Glitch Art, whose content really surprises. And all this introduction has served me to comment that yesterday at night, working on the program of sinsalradio of this week, I had a small accident. I tried to hit two files of audio with different resolutions and frequencies of sampling. One it was to 44,100 Hz and 16 bits, (decompressed of a mp3 to 256kbs), and the other to 96,000 hz and 24 bits. At the moment to combine the two elements, the program (Wavelab) notified me of the problem that there was in mixing both elements but permitted me to do the real-time conversion to combine them, and here is where the error was produced, (that is not such, but simply upon reducing the frequency of sampling enlarges the length of the sample and therefore, –stretching- reproduces itself very slowly). The case is that I found me for "error", as in other many occasions, with a result to my to understand suggestive. One of the tracks that now linko is the head of the program sinsalradio.com after this experiment, and the other is a theme of dance (minimalist-house of Dr. Rockit) that miraculously has become the sound of Thomas Brinkman, if, if, like they hear it (both should be listened with capable teams to reproduce very low frequencies, otherwise barely itself oirá).
