From Medien Wiki

In the beginning there was Tim Vets' autocutup-patch. His patch is based on the literary cut-up technique popularized by William S. Burroughs.
"Autocutup" analyses an audio-file and makes slices - which means it makes several parts out of the audio by detecting attacks. Then the slices will be played back in random order.

Making slices is a common method in music making. You can seperate different parts of a drum-sample to make new rhythmical structures out of it.
