Meeting with James Field and Clive McCarthy – 27/01/2016

• Sound as object
• Human sound – isolated from the body. The voice, speech, language.
• Phonopaper – iPhone app which produces a graphical representation of sound and also converts image to sound. You can record a voice or music and the app produces an image of that sound, which can in turn be re-translated back into sound again. However in this translation it weirds the original which is an interesting aspect to explore.
• Vocal Fry – epidemic on speech, akin to up-talk. Is this attributal to something? Is it possible to map the correlation of unheard patterns of speech? Are there historic examples of epidemics on speech?
• Sounds of magnetic fields – humans give off magnetic fields and each is different, is there a way of capturing this?
• Audio derived from different sources – what source?
• Explore sound as:
  • Ambience
  • Cacophony
  • Frequency
  • Harmony
  • Rhythm
  • Sampling
  • Timbre
  • Tone
