One of the most interesting properties of raw audio as it converts to a digital format is the fact that data is “lost in translation”; that is to say, small slices of data are cut out of the recorded audio in the interest of making a smaller file size. How much data is actually lost? Furthermore, when the sample is taken out of context and melded with the software issue, is it even possible to recognize the original intent? Th1rt33n (2008) uses a recording of the thirteen-member chamber ensemble -- not including the solo flute -- which performed my Chamber Concerto (2007) as its source to explore this very problem.
