Glitch Cutter

Glitch Cutter will randomly create small audio files made from a tiny part of your other audio files. It does so randomly in a batch as large as you specify. The code isn't particularly nice, but it works.

I created it to create abstract sounds to be used as instruments in Renoise. I also just thought it seemed like a good idea at the time.

Requirements

• PHP 5.3
• a unix/linux based CLI with 'find' & 'grep' (tested on my Macbook Pro with OSX 10.7.3)
• SOX (which is awesome, by the way)
• (optional) a Wordnik API key for creating memorable output folder names

How To Use

• cp config-example.php config.php and optionally add your wordnik API key
• change any other things you need in config.php (eg, source directory)
• php go.php
