TENT, live performance at 06/16/2012, Rotterdam,
Geert Mul & Michel Banabila, Sounds Spectrums event.
Voices sampled from radio, sampled from the archive of Mark Dingemanse, and sampled from the Archive Of UCLA Phonetics Lab ;
archive.phonetics.ucla.edu
Cut up voices, tuned, with some electronic treatments.
I chose most of the voices based on their sound, emotion, timbre, regardless of any literal meaning of the words.
New (non existing) words and phrases were formed with the rearranging of tiny samples.
