Sound Production and Manipulation [SPM]  >  Sound Shaping  ]  A
DSP operation initially designed to stretch soundfiles in their
duration, ideally without affecting their pitch (or pitches).
This is the same proceedure that allows pitch transpositions
without changes in the soundfile’s duration (pitch-shifting).
When applied exaggeratedly to complex events, time-stretching
abandons its initial goal of changing duration to that of
creating less predictable events recalling Pierre Schaeffer’s
experience in ’Les Seuils Temporels de l’Oreille’. This relates
to what I call ’non-linear response’ of electroacoustic
equipment. (Source - Rodolfo Caesar (1992). The Composition of
