Babblings

The babbling sampler incessantly chatters, laughs, murmurs and expounds, in English and German, drawing from source material of Ulysses by James Joyce. Pull up the sliders to play.

The story

This sampler aims to recreate the inner monologue mountains that can occur during stressful times.
Taking babbling, or incessant chatter, as a focus, it seemed appropriate to use Chapter 3 of Ulysses by James Joyce as base material.
The first paragraph of the chapter was read and recorded in a whisper, normal speaking voice, and shout. This was split up and mapped to the keys, enabling the user to put together the story in any way they liked.
To add to the disorienting confusion of a stressed inner monologue, my friend Alex kindly provided German versions of the whisper, speaking voice, and shout.
The bottom line of sliders include extra bits cut from the recordings, a granulated version of the English normal speaking voice, and slightly manic laughter, also captured during recording.

The GUI was created using photoshop and hand drawings, and aims to visually represent the aural chaos that can be created with the sampler.

  • Fantastic - and so unusual

    This could be used to create a background mood in so many settings (some a little more spooky than others!) - what a fantastic idea!
