Python Glossolalia
I’ve been using Python to generate randomly linked syllables to get the computer to speak in tongues. The Python code also selects graphemes that produce click sounds, trills, fricatives, sighs, moans, and groans when spoken out by a computer. The idea is to produce some kind of computer synthesised glossolalia.
Trying to bring life to computer generated text.
Below is a sample…
Btw the TTS is a clone of my voice with modulation on it so it ends up sounding nothing like me. The actual clone is a posh me with a plummy accent.
Elsewhere Node (Notes on Antidepressants) @ HOAX
A page from the surfacecollider (Code becomes Image) project has been selected by HOAX Publication, and is live here now.
Eleswhere Node (Notes on Antidepressants) is a web based artwork combining code generated imagery, text and sound to explore how the shiny-hyper-glossy objects of digital images, which can often feel cold and distant when we look at them, might produce new tacit forms of experience when they collide with personal narratives and tales from the other side of the screen. The soundtrack to the work is a voice recording of recent writing exploring and describing the world as I see it – my personal day to day experiences. The tone and content of the text mirrors and describes my subjectivity as it is affected by antidepressants.
