Pitch Classification

Voices are classified as:

Female norm: mean F0 of 196-224 Hz
Male norm: mean F0 107-132 Hz
Gender is a spectrum,-not just binary (male vs female)and also not purely categorical

How to reeceive voice as a data and then reproduce it in ways that deconstruct the gender classification?
Open up new auditory perceptions?

Pitch definition

From britanica
pitch, in music, position of a single sound in the complete range of sound. Sounds are higher or lower in pitch according to the frequency of vibration of the sound waves producing them. A high frequency (e.g., 880 hertz [Hz; cycles per second]) is perceived as a high pitch and a low frequency (e.g., 55 Hz) as a low pitch.

Timbre Visualisation

Try to talk on the microphone and see different types of visualisation through pure data. This can also work with vocal samples
