Per, thanks for this info. I had actually wrote, then scrapped, an email to LD a few months ago asking whether this technique was possible using any kind of current technology. I thought it was some brilliant idea I had come up with!...now I see it's been around forever (in computer years)! I just love the idea of making the dimension of time absolutely plastic, or even static, with regards to playback. Do you know of any audio examples where I might hear this?
