I have "granny" here at home. I never could get anything very interesting
out of it. What I'd like to find are some recordings that demonstrate the
solid musical value of granular synthesis. So far, all I have heard are the
sort of sounds you would expect from a mangled cassette tape being eaten by
a rogue cassette player. Could this actually be the "next big thing" in
synthesis, as it is sometimes claimed to be? Most of what I've heard
doesn't even sound like synthesis. It sounds like post-processing, albeit
extreme post-processing.
