i used to do that with rebirth.  check track 7 on http:// 
www.notype.com/drones/cat.e/nta_014/ for example.  every loop in this  
track plays at a different tempo.  track 1 also has many elements  
like that.

i don't know why you call it "virtual non-linear" (unless you're  
trying to make it as the wire's new microsound correspondent), it's  
just...  asynchronous tempo.

no need for painstaking sample selection and audio editing.  you just  
need to have a little bit of ear to make it work.

have a nice day
