Voice networks: The human voice as a creative medium for musical collaboration

Article Abstract:

A musical installation that allows players to record, transform and share their voices in a group using a central computer system facilitating the interaction as participants interdependently collaborate their 'voice motifs' into a coherent musical composition is described. The effect of group interdependency on individual contribution by players and the tension between maintaining autonomy and individuality versus sharing and collaborative group playing are discussed.
