BOOK III / LINE 10

'The feast was now begun; these eating sat the entrails, those stood off'ring to the God
The thighs, his portion, when the Ithacans push'd right ashore, and, furling close the sails,
and making fast their moorings, disembarked.'

Disquiet Junto Project 0067: Odyssey Machine
This week's project is an adaptation of the ongoing National Poetry Month project at SoundCloud. The Junto will, collectively, produce new fragments of The Odyssey of Homer. A die and access to text-to-speech software are required. There are seven steps.
These are the steps:
Step 1: Roll a die twice (or two dice once) and add the results. This number will tell you which of the first dozen books of The Odyssey by Homer you will be working from.
Step 2: Roll a die three times (or three dice once) and multiply the results (i.e., if you get a 3, a 5, and a 6, then 3 x 5 x 6 = 90). This will tell you which line of the book from Homer's Odyssey you will be working with.
Step 3: Locate that line in the version of The Odyssey at this URL:
archive.org/stream/theodysseyof…4269gut/24269-0.txt
Step 4: Select the phrase that begins at your assigned line and ends with the next full stop (that is, with the next period) in the text.
Step 5: Record the selected text as audio using an automated text-to-speech tool. You can alter this text in any way you choose, but make certain that it remains inteligble.
Step 6: Record a new piece of background music for the spoken text. The sole source material for this background music should be the audio that resulted from step 5. You can transform the source audio in any way you choose. You can add up to three full seconds at the beginning and end of the spoken audio to allow for the music to build up and to fade out.
Step 7: This is the final step. Combine the audio from steps 5 and step 6 into one track, adjusting the relative volume levels as necessary.
Deadline: Monday, April 15, 2013, at 11:59pm wherever you are.
Length: Your finished work will be the length of or a few seconds longer than the track that resulted from step 5 above.
