A montage approach to sound texture synthesis

In this paper a novel algorithm for sound texture synthesis is presented. The goal of this algorithm is to produce new examples of a given sampled texture, the synthesized textures being of any desired duration. The algorithm is based on a montage approach to synthesis in that the synthesized texture is made up of pieces of the original sample concatenated together in a new sequence. This montage approach preserves both the high level evolution and low level detail of the original texture.
