INTERVIEW
Yesterday I downloaded an iPhone app called 'Talking Carl'. On opening this 59p marvel of procrastination I was confronted with a red cartoon child that made it clear that I was to speak into the microphone. On doing so it regurgitated my voice back at me sped up and greatly increased in pitch.
However I realised today after listening to my voice regurgitated by the internet rather than Carl, that perhaps the tiny bastard was just reproducing my voice verbatim.
In more delirious moments I imagine that the sheer speed with which my brain ejects ideas is the reason my voice sounds like a rodent that mistook a bag of amphetamines for cheese. In truth I think it's probably nerves.
The catalyst for all this phonetic introspection is an interview posted today by blog called Directors Notes, which is the sort of place one feels slightly more cool for having consorted with. It's run by the ever lovely MarBelle, who's ability to re-orient the hulking tanker that is my propensity for waffle should be met with medals.
The topic was Stately Turrets Fall; a video/music collaboration with composer Emily Hall that screened at the Barbican last May and brought three copies of After Effects to their knees (Where CS4 belongs).
Anyhoo, here's the interview…
