- At the time I put real audio files of my music on the internet for the first time something funny
happened to me: I uploaded a real audio file to the free provider angelfire. So far everything seemed
ok, but it wasn't possible to listen to the music with a web browser. So I downloaded the same file
back to my harddisk to check it. When I listened to it I found out that it was somehow affected
by it's travel through cyberspace.. There was a strange effect on it that sounded like a
combination of phase and filter modulation. I later tried to do the same thing deliberately but
it didn't work anymore.
- Cyber age Lo-Fi effect: take some backing tracks or a section of the track, encode it
to a low kbs real-audio file (like 96 kbs or the like) then convert it back into a wav.
the resulting sound is tinny and burbly, and if you throw some reverb on top of it you get a
very mechanical, yet organic sound. it can also be applied to beats for a weird "woosh" lofi effect.

- Try using dithers in the wrong way like choose 24bit bit rate when exporting
audiofiles in 16 bit , you ll get weirdo timestrech like sounds.

- A Wicked hard-mp3-like effect can be achieved by converting your sample wave
to an mp3 with good quality. Then just change the .mp3 label to .txt and
open the file in notepad. Copy the TEXT (a nonsensical line of ascii code)
to your clipboard and paste it to a different blank text file. Then take
this new text file and change its' label to .mp3. Now, this new mp3 sounds
close to a bad mp3 compression, but somehow different and better to use in a
strange song.

- Very modern by coincidence found delay
supplies:
- 2 mobile phones
- 1 carkit with speaker and microphone
Just place 1 mobile in the carkit holder, give the other one a ring and start talking and voila: a GSM delay. Try
different distances for feedback amount.

- place your mobile near any recording equipment that might be affected by interferences from
incoming calls. has worked nice rhythmically. have to be fast to switch it off though before it
starts ringing. or not.
