about

I had constructed a simple text-to-speech device that allowed me to type in texts which the synthesis program tried to say in English. The text for this piece is an excerpt from a transliterated Mayan document. The text-to-speech synthesizer would then pronounce nonsense words using English phonemes. I then rewrote what was being heard several times and gradually replaced the nonsense sounds with what they reminded me of with real words and phrases and then ran each sonic transliteration through another reading by the synthesizer. I made two variations of the texts and the two resulting synthesized voices were superimposed upon one another in a sort of question-and-answer dialogue of nonsense.
