played , a fraction of the signal is recorded again , and held
another two seconds , then recycled over and over. As the words pass
repeatedly through the computer , the resonant frequencies of the
system and room reinforce themselves so that any semblance of my
speech , with perhaps the exception of rhythm , is destroyed.;

This is pretty simply done. Closest in spirit to the original would be
to have a buffer, of a size appropriate to the statement you wish to
record (you could use a delay line instead, it’s just a slight
difference in interface).

On the first iteration you’ll need to manually start and stop recording
into the buffer (using record~). Thereafter, using the output of record~
to tell you how long the recorded segment was, the playback-rerecord
cycles can be completely automated (which may be easier using poke~, YMMV).

#P comment 264 34 504 196626 I am sitting in a room , the same one you are in now. I am recording the sound of my speaking voice and I am going to play it back into the room again and again until the resonant frequencies of the room reinforce themselves so that any semblance of my speech , with perhaps the exception of r-r-r-rhythm , is destroyed. What you will hear , then , are the natural resonant frequencies of the room articulated by speech. I regard this activity nnnnnot so much as a demonstration of a physical fact , but more as a way to s-s-smooth out any irregularities my speech might have.;

Requires Linterp from Peter Elsea’s LObjects (which is easy to find).
But where does one get sfp? MaxObjects doesn’t have an entry for it.

Move the object files to where you keep third party objects. Start Max and it should now find el.buffet~.

Hit the bang connected to the patcher “Start-Piece” and start talking into the mic.

Good luck,

There must be tons of these patches lying around. Below is the one I wrote for a performance at Manchester University last year. It was quite wonderful if I may say so. The patch is not completely authentic since it normalizes buffers to minimize accumulation of digital noise. It also requires a couple of my LyonPotpourri objects.

#P comment 264 34 504 196626 I am sitting in a room , the same one you are in now. I am recording the sound of my speaking voice and I am going to play it back into the room again and again until the resonant frequencies of the room reinforce themselves so that any semblance of my speech , with perhaps the exception of r-r-r-rhythm , is destroyed. What you will hear , then , are the natural resonant frequencies of the room articulated by speech. I regard this activity nnnnnot so much as a demonstration of a physical fact , but more as a way to s-s-smooth out any irregularities my speech might have.;

Dear Eric,

I found this patch of yours for the Lucier piece and it works wonderfully, thank you very much for sharing it.

One question: is it possible to change the length of the sequence? I’ve poked around in the patch, and I can send a “size” message to the buffer~ changing its length, but it seems the sequence stays the same length. Is there another spot within the patch where I should be changing the length for it to work? Or maybe I’m just speaking too fast…

Thank you very much!
Alexandra
