From the page: "what is it? : TAPESTREA (or taps) is a unified framework for interactively analyzing, transforming and synthesizing complex sounds. Given one or more recordings, it provides well-defined means to:
# identify points of interest in the sound and extract them into reusable templates
# transform sound components independently of the background and/or other events
# continually resynthesize the background texture in a perceptually convincing manner
# controllably place event templates over backgrounds, using a novel graphical user interface and/or scripts written in the ChucK audio programming language
# leverage similarity based retrieval to locate other interesting sound components"
