Abstract
Non-looped continuous sound made up of random sequencing of digital sound segments is generated by taking several short segments of an otherwise continuous sound and forming independent records of those short segments. The stored segments are re-assembled into a sound sequence of arbitrary length based on selecting the next sound segment according to some statistical algorithm. The selected algorithm may be simply a random or pseudo-random selection, or it may provide a probability weighting to emphasize some sound records over others, or some combination of factors also affected by external stimuli such as light, heat or operator input. The selection of sound segments proceeds according to a logical sequence which is programmable. Sounds are organized into groups of similar sounds which may be accessed according to subsects. Groups may include beginning (head), middle and end (tail) sound segments.
