Phasors and granular synthesis
Phasors: https://reactivemusic.net/?p=17353
Example Max patches:
- phasors: cosine, sine, windows: phasor-stuff.maxpat
- playing an audio file with a phasor: graintest1-phasor-count.maxpat
- granular synthesis: graintest3.maxpat
- More granular synthesis: timestretch5.maxpat
Download these patches from https://github.com/tkzic/max-projects folder: granular-timestretch

Composition: Sound-byte
- The sound-byte is a short audio clip of speech.
- The speech can come from anywhere. Something familiar, something famous, something unusual.
- Every sound in the composition is derived only from the sound-byte. You can use any tool or method.
- The sound-byte in its original form should occur somewhere in the piece
- Duration: roughly 2-3 minutes? That is up to you.
