Cut-up Technique & Created Beat



The cut-up technique emerged into popularity due to the works of the Dadaists and William S. Burroughs. Cut-up is achieved by taking a completed text and cutting it in pieces with a few or single words on each piece. The resulting pieces are then rearranged into a new text. Also, Fold-in is the technique of taking two sheets of text, folding each sheet in half vertically and combining with the other, then reading across the resulting page.  This phenomenon has further evolved by being involved in music and video incorporation. 

Here is the beat I created.
