Claim One:
1. A method for generating a transformed digital media, including: decoding a target media file and one or more source media files into a target sample set and a plurality of source sample sets; processing the target sample set to form a target time frequency distribution (TFD); processing the source sample sets to form at least one source TFD; extracting musical features from the target TFD to generate target feature extraction (FE) data containing one or more separate target features; extracting musical features from the source TFD to generate source FE data containing one or more separate source features, and assigning each of the source features a media ID for identifying the associated source; segmenting the target FE data into temporal portions to form a plurality of target feature segments for each target feature, each of the target feature segments being time aligned to a corresponding target feature; comparing each of the target feature segments with a plurality of the source features and generating a triple for each substantial match between the target feature segment and one of the source features, the triple including (id, s, d), where id is the media ID, s is a location within the source, d is the distance of the matched source to the respective target segment; and generating the transformed media from the target sample sets and the source sample sets based upon the triples according to a probabilistic mixing algorithm based on a match distance function.
