Ole Time Bender (databending)

A first time exercise in databending.

The audio track was arranged using Audacity 1.3 Beta with various image to sound conversions and a sample from Kevin MacLeod's Silent Film Scores: Bad Ideas-Clean. Available at http://incompetech.com

The video was bent applying different video compression codecs, to an AVI file with a XVID codec to produce mutiple versions. Then using Audacity audio editor to damage the files with various effects. This is an exercise in trail and error. there is no proven formula I can provide here.

To me these things are like a digital age version of Ian Sommerville's & Brion Gysin's Dream Machine.
