Continuing on with the massive media dump, here’s some audio of mine that you can find online.
The biggest online project that I’ve been involved in so far has to be Dictionaraoke, an online gallery of songs made up of MIDI audio and speech samples from online dictionaries. It was inspired by an NPR Weekend Edition Saturday story about Merriam Webster including word samples in its online reference site. One of the songs that I created has the distinction of having been played on both Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me and the Dr. Demento Show, which means that I’m famous in cafes and college dorms nationwide.
Dictionaraoke was a project of the Snuggles collective, a group of fans of the band Negativland who work through a lively mailing list that covers all sorts of topics, some of them actually related to Negativland. Another compilation that we worked on in the past was Free Speech For Sale, an advertising-themed collage-fest. I have a short track (”All He Sees Is You”) on that comp, right next to such luminaries as The Evolution Control Committee and Escape Mechanism. Best of all, Free Speech For Sale is completely free and downloadable from the above link. So now you have no excuse not to check it out.
One other edited audio piece that’s made some waves is my version of George W. Bush’s reading the poem “A Visit From St. Nicholas,” known better by its first line, “Twas the night before Christmas”. That piece got played on the radio a few times, made its way into compilation put together by DJ Riko and Stay Free! magazine, and can currently be found in the Presidential cut-up department at DIYMedia.net.
So there’s a short list of some of my audio work that you can find online. There’s some other audio coming up soon, just as soon as I figure out where the crap to host it. You can also find some links to other audio works at my SRN page.
