NEMO 023 year: 2007
The project: Creating audio (musical / spoken word,combination, etc) using "spam" (or "unsolicited electronic mail") email text as lyrical or thematic content. All works, unless specified otherwise, are under a Creative Commons License and can be also downloaded from archive.org What began as a simple administrative announcement on a Yahoo Group has become a CT-Collective Project. A person, virtual or real or both, by the name of “Teisha” started spamming the group with clearly “off-topic” posts. Users complained, and the moderator of the group took action. He sent an email to all stating that “Teisha is now banned.” Then someone suggested (I don’t know whether seriously or not) that “Teisha is now banned” sounded like a good name for a CT-Collective project. A few others, including myself, chimed in and after some exchanges, the project was created, and later formalized. The guidelines were simple: create a piece of audio using “spam” content as main thematic material. |

| Process: Used a few hundred subject and timestamps from my spam folder and had “Ralph” and “Victoria” read them using Mac OS X’s Text to Speech application, along with short “teisha” and “teisha has been banned” text files. Used Ambrosia’s WireTap Pro to record to QuickTime. Switched between the looped-in-QuickTime spoken word files fed into my multiple effects pedal signal chain, manipulated and captured loops as I went along creating layers. Software: Mac OS X Text to Speech Ambrosia Software’s Wiretap Pro QuickTime Player Sound Soap Hardware: MacBook Pro (loopers) Akai Headrush, Boss RC-20, RC-20XL, Digitech Jamman (effects) Moog Moogerfooger lowpass filter, analog delay, super analog delay, MuRF, bass MuRF |
