Cultural recursion via free sample libraries. Cage-ian indeterminacy in vernacular production tools.

An initial sketch for New.Wavs.  All sonic material derived from the 'Lex Luger Drum Kit' sample library. All compositional information drawn from the 2010 chart hit 'Blowing Money Fast' by Rick Ross, produced by Lex Luger.

Audio analysis and subsequent mapping via Max/MSP and Ableton Live 9.

From Methodology Examples:
0:00: Original Rick Ross Track
0:17: Track recreated with Lex Luger production kit
0:36: Audio->MIDI mapped to production kit drums
0:51: Audio->MIDI mapped to production kit synth VST
1:11: additive resynthesis
1:30: concatenative resynthesis
