This is an example of more or less "by rote" cut and paste, conducted on an WW2-era radio broadcast. A five-minute commentary was chopped up into beginnings of sentences, ends, and neither beginning nor end. The pieces were re-connected in random order, according to a "beginning-middle-end" arrangement. (A couple minutes of content was lost because one of the sections ran out of pieces, which stopped the matching process.) Minimal editing.
William S Burroughs did a lot of cutup like this, except with newspapers and scissors. We'll be doing something for his birthday next week, so this seemed at least like a kind of warm up.
