Camel Tail

"Sonny Rae Tempest is a poet and artist who experiments with digital media (especially video games) as a platform and a constraint." 

"This Taroko Gorge remix produces a 4 line stanza out of lines from Metallica albums every 5.5 seconds. It uses a single variable ('hair') and a data set consisting of choice Metallica lines to produce what seems like endless Metallica lyrics. Tempest combined the cut-up technique with the Taroko Gorge engine as a tool for analysis of the Metallica corpus, allowing readers to discover the lengths, rhythms, logic, and themes of their lyrics." -- from Electronic Literature Collection, Volume 3
