This selection of Beethoven’s movements from string quartets, trios, and quintets has been processed in studio through a (mostly physical) sound manipulation technique serendipitously found by John Noise Manis. Starting from existing recordings, the audio material gets shredded, stuttered, and then recomposed (no MIDI) with some use of spectral transformation.
