Artists: GH Hovagimyan, Love Songs from My Computer

My mac has many synthetic voices, and they are very interesting to play with, and I even set up voice notification for my instant messaging client on the computer, with different voices saying different words when my friends logged on. Love Songs from My Computer reminds me of this, as Hovagimvan has taken popular songs and had synthesized voices sing them. The clips are open in one window, so the user can play multiple clips, creating layers to the song. The artist is not a trained musician but is willing to cross lines between digital art and music, to create something that is a hybrid of the both. It reminds me of Pat's presentation when he came to visit my color theory class, where color and images were translated into sound, and vice versa, to create a dialogue between sound and image. Love Songs is a dialogue between digital voice and human, industry presentation and our own ability to mix and remix these songs.
