Speaking Straight

This piece of computer-interactive sound poetry is one of a series being composed by us with the use of software written in the Verbal Interactivity Project (VIP). VIP is a development by austraLYSIS, with special input from David Worrall, and operates in the programming language Python. The computer-interactive performer uses multiple computer voices, which choose and speak parts of the currently active or preceding texts in a variety of ways. The texts originate from Hazel's writing, but are transformed progressively; the performer can take control over these processes or drive them algorithmically.
