Hello,
I am making a piece of music for a sonic arts class. My idea is that I keep repeating an audio sample hypothetically an infinite amount of times. The sample becomes shorter every time it repeats. I want the sample to become shorter by the same percentage every time so that eventually it reaches a point where it is no longer perceptible and it could be imagined that its repeating infinitely. The sample is currently 5 minutes long, though I can adjust it to any duration. Ideally the piece would last 1 hour, with the sample being 1 second long by the 58th second of the 59th minute so that for the last second of the hour it would supposedly repeat an infinite amount of times. I'd like the process of shortening to be fairly subtle so that it isn't immediately apparent what is happening to the sample.
so to summarise.
How long should the original sample be?
How much should each repetition of the sample decrease so as to reach an infinitely small duration during the span of one hour?
I really lack any knowledge that would help me to figure this out (I'm basically a layman) so figured I'd ask in a forum.
Thanks
