*Another aspect that interests me--as far as me as performer, hearing my own voice--is "I am Sitting In A Room" by Alvin Lucier [http://ubumexico.centro.org.mx/sound/source/Lucier-Alvin_Sitting.mp3]. I am just listening to this again now, I had never noticed that he had a stutter. This adds an interesting psychological dimension to the performance, where he states "I regard this activity not so much as a demonstration of a physical fact, but more as a way to smooth out an irregularities my speech might have." "...so that any semblance of my speech. With perhaps the exception of rhythm is destroyed. What you will hear then are the natural resonant frequencies of the room, articulated by speech. I regard this activity not so much as a demonstration of a physical fact, but more as a way to smooth out any irregularities my speech might have."
*that second part, "What you will hear then are the natural resonant frequencies of the room" is analogous for me to sounding out the linguisitic possiblities of the speech recognition system. I should explore the limits of the wall stree journal (WSJ_5k) model and the larger corpi of language/acoustic information. It is about *articulating* the limits of a system with your own voice.

(if so, what model/vocabulary am I matching against, e.g. WSJ4K, TI_DIGITS, custom vocab?)*bored behavior? (when no-one is in the room)Technical:*speech classifier in supercollider*save out audio files of speech sound*responder. state modeling? what language?*sound isolation possibilities. multi-pane commercial glazing would be my preference, though it is expensive I'm sure.
