I came across an article:

Kronland-Martinet, Richard. 1988. "The Wavelet Transform for Analysis, Synthesis,
and Processing of Speech and Music Sounds" Computer Music Journal 12(4):11-20.

It describes a method of signal analysis and synthesis which seems ideally suited
to the pitch-shifting or CD speed-altering task mentioned here recently.  I'm
fascinated with this article and would like to learn more about this technique.
It reminds me of a windowed DFT in a way, except that the analyzing function is
windowed, not the input data.  I would like to hear about anyone experimenting
with this technique, or even thinking about it.

By the way, the EDN article confused me because what was being described was not
an FFT but a DFT.
