That's a little bit like a discussion I had on an electronic music board about Beethoven. I was explaining to them that Beethoven sounds loud because of how he 'compressed' his orchestration. Denser chords here, octaves there the layout of the chords, the layout of the registers. His adaptive compression tool was his orchestrations. I told them that Beethoven sounds loud, immense, whatever even with chamber orchestras playing and that is in fact an interesting trick.

A nice idea Adam - subtly different to what we can already do with volume and dynamics in the orchestration. A different way of thinking about an aspect of composition that I have not come across before

adaptive compression - can it exist for audio files? A perceptible change of compression ratio throughout the piece as an expressive tool...

...[it] would be very cool to create a jpeg variant which would allow to have different pixel block sizes and different compression at the same time. ...the original jpeg mechanism prefers square blocks, and it also does a uniform compression. I thought it would be cool to allow the code to do an adaptive compression - basically creating huge blocks in areas with little colour variation and tiny blocks elsewhere.

Have you tried Fscape? It is a free soundhack-style app for the Mac (maybe Windows) that might do something you need.

or Spear? Or are you looking for picture morphing and I'm thinkin' audio?

Don't you know by chance a (freely distributed) program for morphing?

Tx Greg, I'll learn a lot from your links!

(btw, I recorded my ImprovFr tune today with this:

but Adam, you have to start with a quiet mic - they are listed at the 'basic info' link last post
Greg Hooper Comment by Greg Hooper on September 10, 2009 at 7:17pm
so much for leaving ;)
I couldn't resist your question re mic preamps. The best place to look for
info on recording very quiet sounds is amongst bioacoustic and nature sound recordists. The yahoo group naturerecordists is excellent
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/naturerecordists/

Here also is a site that covers most of their basic info
http://www.uwm.edu/~type/audio-art-tech-gallery/index.html

mostly people recommend Rolls or Sound devices pres
