8 Bit Larynx demonstrates voice synthesis with an emulated ZX Spectrum 128 sound chip.

Details below.

via mcldx:

“8 bit larynx” performed at the NetVoTech concert (which was all about the musical use of voice+technology). In this track I use my voice directly to control an emulated ZX Spectrum 128 sound chip.

For technical details of the “timbral remapping” process I’m using in this piece, please see my research paper at http://tinyurl.com/2rf9ue (there’s also a video lecture: http://tinyurl.com/3buzq9 ). Hi-qual video at http://tinyurl.com/2n8odr

A while back, we featured a video of Beardyman doing Monkey Jazz, noting that “he uses live looping technology to make synthesizers, drum machines and other musicians obsolete.”

This is a chance to see all the camera angles, unedited, from the original Monkey Jazz video sessions.

Monkey Jazz combines the talents of 2 times UK Beatbox Champion Beardyman [ http://www.beardyman.co.uk ]and master of the edit mr_hopkinson [ http://davidhopkinson.org ],

This is a one take performance by Beardyman using live looping technology, visually explained and augmented by mr_hopkinson’s edit and animation.

Beatboxing on my New Korg R3 Vocoder/Synth

via BLaznBeBoPkiD:

I just improvised a simple chord progression, then beatboxed over it.

I am so excited, just got it back to my dormroom and now its time to jam!

WORDS TO SONG:

“Everybody, I’m so sorry but I have no words. (x3)”
