Abstract

Building on a set of captured audiovisual segments clipped to provide a palette of audio and synched video, techniques and implementations described herein facilitate a new and highly-personalized (and in some cases crowd-sourced or sourcable) genre of audiovisual sampling and musical performance. Using a palette of captured and/or imported audio and associated video, users can remix to create a coordinated audiovisual performance. Because the audiovisual sampling and musical performance capabilities can be hosted on ubiquitous handheld or other portable computing devices such as smartphones and/or pad-type computers, user/musicians can, in essence, creatively remix their life.
