Abstract
Classical delay, chorus, and reverb effects model multiple pro- pagation paths using discrete delays or statistical distributions. This work proposes a model inspired by gravitational lensing, where an audio signal is treated as a wave packet traversing a temporally distorted potential rather than physical spacetime. The distortion generates multiple effective propa- gation paths with different delays, phases, and gains, producing controlled constructive and destructive interference.
