This sound project was an experimentation with the sound of words by Martin, Maelle, Xael, Clotilde, Carly and Mimosa. They focused on how language can be transformed from one to another. Using Google Translate’s voice, they tried to see where translations could lead them. Google Translate isn’t always accurate so they were left with some pretty crazy translations : one sentence losing all of its meaning when translated to another language, sometimes words that didn’t even make sense, sometimes just the sound of the letters. They followed a protocol, all using their phones, sitting next to a computer and a keyboard, they started with simple sentences from french or english and translated them to some other language and then back to french or english, and so on, until they were left with a weird - yet poetic - sound. In this project you can hear them elaborating the protocol, and trying out things, such as vocoder or live music. This journey led them to a music with computer-like sounds and lyrics that came from Google Translate.by Martin, Maelle, Xael, Clotilde, Carly and Mimosa Hosted on Acast.
