| 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...

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-only
Angeliki's collection of texts From Tedious Tasks to Liberating Orality- Practices of the Excluded on Sharing Knowledge, refers to orality in relation to programming, as a way of sharing knowledge including our individually embodied position and voice. The emphasis on the role of personal positioning is often supported by feminist theorists. Similarly, and in contrast to scanning, reading out loud is a way of distributing knowledge in a shared space with other people, and this is the core principle behind the ttssr-> Reading and speech recognition in loop software. Using speech recognition software and python scripts Angeliki proposes to the audience to participate in a system that highlights how each voice bears the personal story of an individual. In this case the involvement of a machine provides another layer of reflection of the reading process. The oral cultures, in contrast to the literate cultures use different methods for maintaining their stories. And at the same time maintaining doesn't seem to be their main purpose, as long as it doesn't satisfy the present audience or oral poet. Although they try to narrate and copy the story of another poet, the way they produce knowledge is fundamentally different. The oral narratives are based on the previous ones keeping a movable line to the past by adjusting to the history of the performer, but only if they are important for the present. This reader attempts to go through the automated tasks that female employees were doing in the beginning of the 20th century and their development to producing knowledge. From weaving to typewriting and programming women, mainly hidden from the public, were exploring the realm of writing beyond its conventional form. According to Kittler (1999, pg. 221) “A desexualized writing profession, distant from any authorship, only empowers the domain of text processing. That is why so many novels written by recent women writers are endless feedback loops making secretaries into writers”. But aren’t these endless feedback loops similar to the rhythmic narratives of the anonymous oral cultures? How this knowledge is produced through repetitive formulas that are easily memorized? The orality is not built on written practices and texts, but in memory, sounds and human interaction. Oral cultures exist without the need of writing, texts and dictionaries. Ong describes in detail what are those methods with which oral people can organize complex thoughts. His aim is to provide a connection between the two cultures for the shake of the human awareness.It doesn’ t need a library to be stored, for people to look up and create their texts. The learning process is shared from individual positions but with the need of the community and is flexible and active to the present.
In the context of the present available technology (speech recognition, computerised recitation) I am using the errors of these functions to create an new oral experience. 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 forming a tape by recording and broadcasting continuously a voice speaking. 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.

- Description: The first line of a given scanned text is read by someone. Then, the outcome (a sound file) is transcribed by a program, called pocketsphinx, and stored as a textfile. The new line is read by the same person or someone else, whose voice is going to be transcribed. The process is looped 10 times. More specifically every time the previous outcome becomes input for somebody to read and then the transcription follows. 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 voice is played and repeated for five times, so for some moments they are overlapping each other. The process resembles the game of the broken telephone and the karaoke.
- Instructions:
The first line of a scanned text is being projected on the screen. I am reading this line. Pocketsphinx is transcribing my voice, being played in loop for five times. The new line is being projected on the screen. I am passing the microphone to you. While you are reading my transcribed line, you are listening to my voice. Pocketsphinx is transcribing your voice, being played in loop for five times. The new line is being projected on the screen. You are passing the microphone to the next you. While the next you is reading your transcribed line, is listening to your voice. Pocketsphinx is transcribing the voice of the next you, being played in loop for five times. The new line is being projected on the screen. The next you is passing the microphone to the next next you. While the next next you is reading the transcribed line of the next you, is listening to the voice of the next you. Pocketsphinx is transcribing the voice of the next next you, being played in loop for five times. The new line is being projected on the screen. The next next you is passing the microphone to the next next next you. While the next next next you is reading the transcribed line of the next next you, is listening to the voice of the next next you. Pocketsphinx is transcribing the voice of the next next next you, being played in loop for five times. The process continuous for five more times. (press enter and run the makefile)
