Othervoice

Othervoice is a wearable instrument: a ring of transducers around the throat, controlled by a single potentiometer. Vibrations resonate within the vocal cavity and emerge through the mouth like an artificial voice.

The instrument can modulate the pitch of the real voice when both sound simultaneously, creating beating, difference tones, and other sounds reminiscent of electronic music.

At Audium, Othervoice connected my body to the space itself. I became a living loudspeaker and a bridge between the corporeal and electronic sounds of the piece.
