Back from Break with a Vocoder Vengeance

I just got back from tour in Costa Rica, meaning I have over 500 pictures to sort through as well as over a dozen videos. All were taken with my new Sony Cybershot DSC-W200, a high end point-and-shoot camera. Unfortunately, I'll be flying out to Seattle this week for an interview with Microsoft and so I won't be able to put the pictures up until I get back.

Let me instead show you a short side project from last semester's independent study, made using Reason's vocoder. Here Reason combines the formant of my voice and the sound of synth vocals + strings while I recite Robert Frost's Fire and Ice. I'm particularly happy with the way the chord progression complements the structure of the poem. (apologies that the volume is so low)
