REplay PLAYer is a audio computer program based on the paradigms of granular synthesis.
REplay PLAYer de-constructs a given sound file and re-composes it by using realtime composition algorithms - a field of research that has been investigated by Karlheinz Essl since the mid 1980ies. With this project, the author is following once again his vision of a music 'that is composed, as if from itself (auto-poetic), at the moment of its sounding.'
REplay PLAYer can be used as a tool to generate an infinite and every-changing sonic stream from a single sound file for artistical, compositional or mere recreational purposes.
REplay PLAYer can also be regarded as a computer based instrument for live performances, as an interactive sound installation or a generator for ambient music.
