The Voice is voices
The voice is voices is a sound installation about vocal identity. You enter a space containing two voices: one human and the other, its synthesized clone. The artificial voice has been constructed from a vocal corpus of many hours of recordings, and each word is generated completely by the machine, via text-to-speech synthesis. As a vocal deep fake, this voice is the mirror of the original one. The listener is invited to meander around the sonic space… and try to feel the in-between — this distance from the original voice to its simulated twin !
