Formantika - Annie Goh

The vowels of a live geo-located Twitter-feed around Crellestraße (Berlin Schöneberg) are sonified using the formants of the artist's own voice. Abstracted vowel sounds can be heard via this technological stream, though their semantic value is lost. The composition is generated anew every Tuesday.

Morpholexical Ping Pong @ Society for Nontrivial Pursuits - FEED Soundspace Berlin
11.05.2012

 An improvisational dialogue of acoustic misunderstandings and semanto-phonetic morphologies for self-made sensor instruments, live voice and Supercollider. For two players.

 We expanded the performance to try and include the computers as players, using the latest edition of Google Chrome and a slightly unreliable applescript, we automated functions of computer-listening and computer-speaking for the computer to join in our dialogue of misunderstandings.

We projected our automatically posted Skype dialogue for the audience to read. Here is a copy of it including errors:
