Sound transformations may be defined as a timbral metamorphosis (i.e., from point ’A’ seemingly naturally to point ’B’) within one single sound event or sonorous gesture. In the latter case this can either take place within a sound continuum or by way of a discrete sound’s repetition being transformed into that of a second[, third, etc.] sound, again as ’naturally’ as possible.
