robot song sings scatt

this was one of the earliest Vocaloid songs ever 'created'. I still remember that amazed fascination I felt, watching "robots" sing so well...

heres some others- 'Miriam' vocaloid songs

Vocaloid MIRIAM Demos:MIRIAM Demo: "Never Give Up".
(NOTE: All vocals on this demo are sung by Vocaloid MIRIAM). Composed, Programmed and Produced by Andy Power.
MIRIAM Demo: "Is This It?".
(NOTE: All vocals on this demo are sung by Vocaloid MIRIAM). Composed, Programmed and Produced by Anders Sodergren.
MIRIAM Demo: "Under The Moon".
(NOTE: All vocals on this demo are sung by Vocaloid MIRIAM). Composed, Programmed and Produced by Anders Sodergren.
but these are the ones I rea-aly like... scatt'n away

LEON+LOLA Demo: "Dupdah".
(NOTE - All vocals on this demo are by either Vocaloid LOLA or Vocaloid LEON). A humorous piece featuring a kind of non-verbal "scatting", featuring LOLA and LEON singing together. This one illustrates Vocaloid's freedom! You can use any sounds a human could utter, and more! As you can see, rhythmically, harmonically, and melodically speaking, the sky's the limit! Written, programmed and produced by Anders Sodergren.
LEON+LOLA Demo: "Freaky Sheep".
(NOTE - All vocals on this demo are by either Vocaloid LOLA or Vocaloid LEON). An abstract avant garde piece of rhythmic vocal sculpture (or to put it another way, weird) that illustrates how easy it is to explore new sonic territory with Vocaloid. Written, programmed and produced by Joe Hogan. Who did Joe get to sing what? Basically its 50/50 between the two singers. The harmonised stereo delay arpeggio type thing at the start is LOLA on the left and LEON on the right. The offbeat "sha" that comes in is both singers, again panned left and right. The "sar" bassline is Lola (way below her natural range!). The "ah, ah, ah, ah, ah" 4-part block chords figure contains two of each singer. The really high pitched tune that comes in at 0:24s is LEON (way above his range!). The whispered "taka-taka" thing that can be heard clearly at 0:33s is LEON, and that kind of bassy pitched kick-drum type sound that happens at the same time is also LEON. Switching between singers during a sequence is easy with Vocaloid.

Metaphysics of Sound by Lee Hangjun(Flims)/Hong Chulki(Turnt

Excerpt from the DVD "Expanded Celluloid, Extended Phonograph" (Balloon and Needle, 2008)

by Lee Hangjun (Experimental Filmmaker) and Hong Chulki (Noise Improviser) from South Korea

Advance Praise for ECEP

It is in the spirit of an experience and experiment that Hang Jun Lee's "The Cracked Share" must be viewed. Seized in moments of visual detachment during periods of emotional contact, these images are oxidized residues of fixed light and chemical elements of transformed from living organisms. No plastic expression can ever be more than a residue of the experience and yet, the residue is the recognition of the experience, loss permeates the work and yet somehow the experience endures, recalling the event more or less clearly, like the undisturbed ashes of an object consumed by flames. The recognition of this object, so little representative and so fragile, speaks to us of this artist's isolation. "The Cracked Share" is quite wonderfully dense and visceral in nature ... it looks as though the work has been doubly manipulated organically and digitally, yet the work still retain its organic nature through its alchemical orientation...the sense of visual rhythm is well paced and the appropriated footage of the Astronauts / Pornographic actor /Horse in "The Cracked Share" is wonderfully imaginative and fluid...an ocular alkahest"

Carl E. Brown


I have been waiting for more than 20 years for those who create music and video just like Lee Hangjun and Hong Chulki. Sound and video are eventually mere data. It is impossible for me to believe in the piece of music or the visual work if it doesn't start from this harsh reality because the problem lies in its start. Accordingly, Lee Hangjun and Hong Chulki's work exposes this starting point as it is. They confront and challenge the problem at this point of departure in audio and video.

maryann amacher and the third ear stopped listening Oct 2009

The subtitle of her first Tzadik Records album Sound Characters (Making the Third Ear) references these "ear tones".

"When played at the right sound level, which is quite high and exciting, the tones in this music will cause your ears to act as neurophonic instruments that emit sounds that will seem to be issuing directly from your head ... (my audiences) discover they are producing a tonal dimension of the music which interacts melodically, rhythmically, and spatially with the tones in the room. Tones 'dance' in the immediate space of their body, around them like a sonic wrap, cascade inside ears, and out to space in front of their eyes ... Do not be alarmed! Your ears are not behaving strange or being damaged! ... these virtual tones are a natural and very real physical aspect of auditory perception, similar to the fusing of two images resulting in a third three dimensional image in binocular perception ... I want to release this music which is produced by the listener ..."

Sachiko Kodama's ferrofluids and sound

Ferrofluids are so amazing, above video showcasing how it reacts to the sound.
Sachiko Kodama made an impressive art out of it, and in next step she created new experience Morpho Tower to make it easier for people to see what ferrofluid are capable of…

aslongasittakes whydidittakesolong? fabulous work and resouce for sound thats not music but everything else

a s l o n g a s i t t a k e s, a sound poetry magazine published by the Atlanta Poets Group, is seeking submissions....heres a quote from them..."we are looking for sound poetry, scores for sound poetry and essays on sound poetry. “What is ‘sound poetry’?” you ask. Good question. It’s one of those know it when you see (hear) it kind of things. It’s probably not music (thanks Dick Higgins). It might be noise. If you think about a spectrum of possible noise made by the human body (or simulations thereof or substitutions therefor), and at one end of the spectrum is a person reading her poem and at the other end is abstract noise, we’re looking for works that fall towards the latter end. We are looking for works in/of/against the tradition(s) of Ball, Schwitters, Dûfrène, Henri Chopin, Jandl, Cobbing, The Four Horsemen, Fylkingen Group, Öyvind Fahlström. . . hopefully by now you get the idea. We’re looking for stuff that will push/redefine the limits. The magazine is Web-based".

Issue 2 is now up! Right here . And it includes work by Adachi Tomomi, the Atlanta Poets Group (performing a piece by Michael Basinski and some Love Songs by Bruce Andrews ), Gary Barwin (alone and with Gregory Betts ), Michael Basinski, David Braden, Craig Dongoski, Brian Howe , Maja Jantar (alone and with Vincent Tholome), e k rzepka, Larissa Shmailo, and Mathew Timmons (performing a Hugo Ball poem).

Charlotte Moorman and Nam June Paik "The Originale"

Charlotte Moorman talks about how she met her long time artistic partner Nam June Paik. The details of the establishment and presentation of the 1964 premier performance of Stockhausen's "Originale" in New
Yok is described in very funny detail. She tells about George Maciunas (Fluxus) picketing the performance. Filmed in 1980 under a grant from the National Endowment for the arts. It is an excerpt from the work Charlotte Morman and the New York Avant Garde.

This piece by Fred Stern is dedicated to the Memory of Charlotte and Nam June.

Unidentified Sound Objects Interview with Trevor Wishart

Wishart uses the voice alot as the sounding instrument, talks about it here, just reading his On Sonic Art, whew what a relief, research not based on sound properties of pitch and duration... 'like how long is it???'
...how long that is...

Iris Garrelfs

"Iris Garrelfs CLICK HERE is a composer/performer intrigued by change, fascinated with voices and definitely enamoured by technology. She often uses her voice as raw material, which she transmuted into machine noises, choral works or pulverised “into granules of electroacoustic babble and glitch, generating animated dialogues between innate human expressiveness and the overt artifice of digital processing” as the Wire Magzine put it.

Described as the Diamanda Galas of Glitch, Iris’ training into creating through voice began very early on. Her parents sang in the village choir, and would often practice at home with Iris making up new melodies, 2nd and 3rd voices to whatever was being sung. She got into the attractions of technology as a teenager, stumbling across her dad’s pulp si-fi magazines. Iris is still waiting for an implant that will siphon off her sonic nerve impulses, fragments of melody, rhythm and correlation floating around in her body and brain. A vital part of her work, be it using voice or other sound material, is improvisation and the use of random elements, the ephemeral fragility and risk implied in giving up control to me moment, a sonic singularity.

Iris performs solo as well as in collaboration with other artists, for example Robert Lippok (To Rococo Rot), Kaffe Matthews, Scanner, Si-cut.db and others. She also performs with the improvising group Symbiosis Orchestra. Recording collaborations include si-cut.db and Freeform - the latter has beeng re-released as part of the Bernt Friedman compiled and remixed compilation "Condensed" on Nonplace

The recent album Specified Encounters, released on the French label Bip-Hop, has been moulded from dissected voice sounds. Her new release on the other hand, fresh of the press, is her first ever 10" vinyl piece, the radio project "(Talking) Space To Space" on the German art-label lich-tung, uses no voices at all. She is currently working on a globe-spanning "(Talking) Space To Space" installation and is very much looking forward to a residency at the Mexican Centre for Music and Soundart in 2007.

Music making aside aside, Iris is the co-founder of London based underground playground and test tube for current sound Sprawl. Artists featured have included Kim Cascone, Scanner, Kaffe Matthews, Christian Fennesz, Taylor Dupree and more. She is a regular on London’s soundart radio station Resonance FM and sits on the Sonic Arts Network Board of Trustees.
As an outspoken person, Iris gets invited as a speaker and panelist at conferences and events in the UK and abroad, most recently at Visiones Sonoras in Mexico. Iris has appeared on TV, for example and ARTE TV in "Well Tempered Computer - Are Computers able to compose" and most recently on ITV's Mixmasters TV. This project has been released by Moonshine in the US and has received a nomination for Best Music DVD at the Dancestar Awards" from Iris's web

Hi Kathryn,
Thanks for your post. It got me thinking about how important the
visibility of other women's work is to me in my daily doings. There is
then something about a lot of this works' basis in networks that makes
me feel much more connected to it than I might be to work of other women
artists. in the meantime I have been thinking about...

Furtherfield blog http://blog.furtherfield.org/?q=blog/8 and
translations of writing at the intersection of art, technolgy and social
change.

project exploring artists practice that explores the relationship
between programming for embroidery and computing.

Kate Rich - her imaginative, sideways and wonderfully parasitical
project, Feral Trade, for trading goods along social networks. She has
constructed a live shipping database, The Feral Trade Courier, "for a
freight network running outside commercial systems. The database offers
dedicated tracking of feral trade products in circulation, archives
every shipment and generates freight documents on the fly."

"open source soft drink" http://sparror.cubecinema.com/cube/cola and
(with Heath Bunting) in Border Xing

Francesca da Rimini/Gashgirl - early dirty cyberfeminism and current
exploratory work on "small media, soft ecologies"
http://www.sysx.org/gashgirl/

Hannah Higgins - her book Fluxus Experience - not strictly technological
but so closely connected in my mind to a more connected and distributed
art experience

Lucy Lippard -for dematerialization of the art object, for offering
precursory context for net art but mainly for articulating the tensions
for women artists looking to work with parity in a patriarchal, market
driven art world

Susy Gablick - her book Conversations before the end of time (not
overtly technological -but somehow contextual)

Sadie Plant - her books 'Zeros and Ones' and though not strictly
technological, her book 'The Most Radical Gesture' about Situationism
seems relevant too

Finally I just have to slip Bjork in there for all of her songs which
are full of blips and bleeps and glitches and technical experimentations
and for her video with Chris Cunningham - All is Full of Love
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjAoBKagWQA

Of course there are lots of others and I am resisting the temptation to
add in a list of honorary women (yes men!)

Finally I am excited by the prospect of attending Eclectic Tech Carnival
this year in September http://eclectictechcarnival.org/node/864 for a
"gathering of women interested in technology". It seems like a great
thing. Perhaps you should come too:)

"Program" System of Digital Art:"BOOM! Fast and Frozen Permutation" ?
Taiwan-Australia New Media Art Exhibition by Yu-Chuan Tseng Yu-Chuan Tseng reports on Taiwan-Australia New Media Art Exhibition from the perspective: "An important element of digital computer technology ... has digital art features of aesthetic concepts and
behavioral structure....'program' is an important factor in constructing the work."

Games: The Art of Making, Bending, and Breaking Rules
by Andrew Yashar Ames
"In interactive art, the observer and the work are constructed by
rules that can be bent or broken, but cannot be absent." Andrew Y.
Ames examines "Game-based art... [with] implied and explicit rules
that artists expose and exploit for aesthetic and ideological purposes."

The Miracles of Feedback
by Mario van Horrik
"This paper deals with my fascination for acoustic feedback... I want
to express my doubts, theories, and questions, as well as our motives
and enthusiasm for using this medium." Sound artist Mario van Horrik
explains his involvement over two decades with acoustic feedback
experiments.

Hz vs Church
by Novi_sad
Sound artist/composer Novi_sad's project "'Hz vs Church' aims to use
Churches (or other big sized public buildings) as post loudspeakers
in order to create, unfold and play live various sounds which appear
in the 'aural surface' by using and manipulating in real time
different kinds of frequencies."

We are not alone
by Salvatore Iaconesi and Oriana Persico
"Network and information technologies, with a mutagen leap, directly
connect the mind of the human being to hyper-contents and to hyper-
contexts, creating perspectives that are totally new." Iaconesi/
Persico on their projects which emerge as one of the possibilities/
directions network technology brings forward.

Intimate Transactions: Close Encounters of Another Kind

"Crucially, the interactive intent of the work was to create a means
to reflect upon a particular kind of experience ? the experience of
our being relationally connected as a collective body." Writer/
