MUTILAUDIO: Digital audio art using speech
and/or music as raw materials

MUTILAUDIO is an appropriative art form, using existing recordings as source materials. The tradition goes back centuries in various media, but the technological advances of the modern age have opened vast new realms. David Gans started creating these works in 1985, using analog tape in various formats; since December 1992 he has been using a Sonic Studio digital audio workstation, which has greatly expanded the creative possibilities.
