Creative Computing - Final Project

Program Note :

Speaking In Tongues :-
Amy Sincock
2`04

This composition was made using vocal reproductions of mobile phone conversation’s heard on the bus, or in Rundle Mall. They were reproduced by Meghann Sunners and Sarah Melrose. The material was heard and noted, and re-recorded later in a studio. Not only the words, but also tone of voice, pauses, and dynamics of the caller were noted. Also recorded were standard ringtones of a Nokia phone. The idea for this project came after being on a crowded bus in which 7 phone conversations were taking place. The fact that it is a very distinct mash of sound that people don’t even seem to notice was interesting and I wanted to highlight this. Most of the piece is simple and hardly edited, because I wanted to keep it fairly similar to the actual sound you would hear. Some effects were put on the vocals to further emphasise the confusion and unintelligible effect of the conversations.
