Daisy 2000 voice synthesised project

Bicycle Built for Two Thousand from Aaron on Vimeo.

Web here

Bicycle Built For 2,000 is comprised of 2,088 voice recordings collected via Amazon's Mechanical Turk web service. Workers were prompted to listen to a short sound clip, then record themselves imitating what they heard.

Why this song? The song "Daisy Bell," originally written by Harry Dacre in 1892, was

made famous in 1962 by John Kelly, Max Mathews, and Carol Lockbaum as the first example of musical speech synthesis. In contrast to the 1962 version, Bicycle Built For 2,000 was synthesized with a distributed system of human voices from all over the world.

delirious hem: Kirsten Kaschock - quote from article

Artist-as-Mother/Mother-as-Artist: A Metaphorical Resurrection

'When we talk about art now, especially radical or experimental art, we talk about war. The artwork achieves, or fails to achieve. It is revolutionary and breaks through barriers, or it falls flat. Postmodern art (of all genres) is valued for its ability to move us forward—to shock, to produce awe. Our zeitgeist is blitzkrieg. Notably, the term avant garde is a military one, and it is precisely this term that makes it difficult to imagine communication with the artist. Either you position yourself behind the vanguard, reaping the benefits of their sacrifice, or you stand opposing them, attempting to cut them down as they hurl their weapons into your culture. The soldiers (the artists) in these metaphors are necessarily silent—and their purpose violent.

Walter Benjamin, in his essay, “The Task of the Translator,” writes:

The basic error of the translator is that he preserves the state in which his own language happens to be instead of allowing his language to be powerfully affected by the foreign tongue. Particularly when translating from a language very remote from his own he must go back to the primal elements of language itself and penetrate to the point where work, image, and tone converge. He must expand and deepen his language by means of the foreign language. It is not generally realized to what extent this is possible… (Benjamin 81)''

Lady McBeth put together collaborative-ly by ALTRASCENA

Sirens at the Court of the Lady
Collaboration at/by ALTRASCENA
below is the translated post on his web describing the work,

..."This work began with the idea of creating a work under the aegis / demon of Lady Macbeth. I asked some poets and performers to record with the means at their disposal, some passages of the Shakespeare tragedy, without any constraints of interpretation or sound. The poet / performer Rosaria Lo Russo, Sara Davidovics, Chiara Daino Brandi and Irene, the singer / actress Raffaella Benetti, the poet Erminia Passannante and sound artist Majena Mafe, accepted.
The finished work emerged intrusive, confused, without a centre. In its way, it produces itself as both horrible and fascinating, a hybrid form, like that of a siren, with its inherent disorientation strategy. And the song which has no other message that its surplus. There is, in this work, which is made up of sudden flashes, an attempt to renew the art of radio directly using available space. Through listening to the characters and the accompanying sounds, it also aims to open new perspective perceptually. This work opens up a different audience and with full respect for the Shakespearean canon, that also calls the assassination of it.
[The piece is performed in German by Helene Weigel, to whose memory this work is dedicated]"
Duration: 21.15 min.

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

Odyssey Installation Sound of Voices

Alan Sondheim on Netbehavior said
"The sound of the Odyssey Installation: Azure Carter orchestra
Azure's sounds and songs are throughout the installation; I was finally able to get a good audio recording (line in, into the a digital recorder)- showing how voices are employed in the space, a rather beautiful piece in itself. (Changes in the recording are a result of moving through the space.)
