_Historical note_: Samplebrain is an example of a sound synthesis method
called "concatenative sound synthesis" (CSS). Canadian composer John Oswald
used this method in his work [plunderphonics](http://www.plunderphonics.com)
starting in the 1980s. While Oswald worked manually assembling his works,
automated approaches were developed and explored by several in the early 2000s,
e.g.: Zils and Pachet in 2001 -- who call it "Musical Mosaicing" --
Schwarz in his 2004 PhD thesis [Data-Driven Concatenative Sound Synthesis](https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwiHlruIgrf6AhWhXfEDHaQFBsAQFnoECAkQAQ&url=http%3A%2F%2Frecherche.ircam.fr%2Fanasyn%2Fschwarz%2Fthesis%2Freport.pdf&usg=AOvVaw1TMAkjeJhNq3anf9f_CaR5),
and multimedia artist Sven König in his 2006 project [sCrAmBlEd?HaCkZ!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRlhKaxcKpA).
