Let’s not speak to anyone. Let us move on and listen. Listen for voices while walking. Listen for pauses.Listen. What sounds in your home town indicate a specific time of day? Here are such sounds from Vancouver. Listen. Mix—Sound signals, time of day. Listen for hums and motors for birdcalls and for pauses between the birdcalls. Listen for echoes. Echo under parabolic bridge. Bang on other objects that make interesting sounds—such as Henry Moore’s sculpture called Knife Edge in Queen Elizabeth Park in Vancouver. Henry Moore’s sculpture Knife Edge. Hear your breath and its rhythms your footsteps and their rhythm. Stop for a moment and listen to your thoughts. Let them pass like the sound of a car. Follow your thoughts until you cannot hear them any longer. Hear the pauses between sirens and horns and airplanes. The sounds of different seasons. Soundwalking—mix of excerpts, beaches and parks. Sounds of clothes and of wind. Listen into the distance. Stop. listening for a moment.3 Radio that Listens. Soundwalking—mix of excerpts, shopping malls. Listen as you return home. Did you hear the sounds of this walk of this time in your life? Radio That Listens In his article Radical Radio, Canadian composer R. Murray Schafer suggested that radio is not new. He writes: It existed long before it was invented. It existed whenever there were invisible voi­ces: in the wind, in thunder, in the dream. Listening back through history, we find that it was the original communication system by which gods spoke to humanity. It was the means by which voices, free from the phenomenal world, com­mu­ni­ca­ted their thoughts and desires to awestruckmortals. The divine voice, the Ursound, infinitely powerful precisely because of its invisibility, is encountered repeatedly in ancient religions and in folklore... In those days there was nothing but religious broadcasting

"Sitting in a pocket(sphinx)"

or "Python Whispers"

ttssr-loop

The first line of a given scanned text is read by a computerized female voice. Then, the outcome (a sound file) is transcribed by a program, called pocketsphinx, and stored as a textfile. The process is looped 10 times. More specifically every time the previous outcome becomes input for the computerized voice and then the transcription. Depending on the quality of the machine, the voice and the reading, the first line is being transformed into different texts but with similar phonemes. At the same time with the transcription you hear all the sounds. The process resembles the game of the broken telephone (Chinese whispers).

ttssr-loop-human

The first line of a given scanned text is read by me or any other human. Then, the outcome (a sound file) is transcribed by a program, called pocketsphinx, and stored as a textfile. The new line is read by a computerized voice, which is going to be transcribed. The process is looped 10 times. More specifically every time the previous outcome becomes input for the computerized voice and then the transcription. Depending on the quality of the machine, the voice and the reading, the first line is being transformed into different texts but with similar phonemes.

ttssr-loop-human-only

The first line of a given scanned text is read by me or any other human. Then, the outcome (a sound file) is transcribed by a program, called pocketsphinx, and stored as a textfile. The new line is read by me or another human, which is going to be transcribed. The process is looped 10 times. More specifically every time the previous outcome becomes input for me and then the transcription. Depending on the quality of the machine, the voice and the reading, the first line is being transformed into different texts but with similar phonemes. At the same time with the transcription each sound is played and repeated for 5 times, so for some moments they are overlapping eachother. The process resembles the game of the broken telephone and the karaoke.
In the context of the present available technology (speech recognition, computerised recitation) I am using the error of these machines to create an new oral experience/ is evoked. As these projects do while following the media of their time. Following the example of two other projects: Boomerang (1974) and I Am Sitting In A Room (1981). The first one is about making a tape by recording and broadcasting at the same time. The latter is exploiting the imperfections of the system of recording tapes machine and grabs the room echoes/as musical qualities in the process (echoes of the room while recording)...tape-delay system/for voice and electromagnetic tape.
