Mechanical Music / Mechanical Sound Design

The term "Mechanical Music" is used when, for example, a music track (usually electronic music) is characterized by elements of "mechanical sound design."

"Mechanical sound design" refers to the use of techniques such as time stretching, re-pitching, and looping (typically with very tight or extremely long loop times) in the sound design process.

IMPORTANT: The warping algorithms offered by Ableton Live are originally the main solution for achieving mechanical sound design in its true essence (beats mode, re-pitch).

Example: I take an electronic music track and stretch it to extreme levels (700-800-999 bpm) until I get interesting textures both audibly and creatively, using Ableton warping modes like beats or re-pitch. Then I can chop most interesting parts to obtain Mechanical Music / Mechanical Sound Design

Human-surrounded design

A progressive design approach that emphasizes the continuous and active involvement of humans throughout the AI-driven workflow process. Rather than considering humans as mere end-users, "human-surrounded design" integrates human input, feedback, and perspectives at every stage, ensuring that AI and technology solutions remain deeply aligned with human needs, values, and expertise.

"Given the potential impact of the new AI tool, the team prioritized a human-surrounded design to ensure consistent checks, balances, and guidance from its human collaborators."

Designated Third Wheel

A designated third wheel is a special type of third wheel.
