Broadcast 4
(Sound piece)


Broadcast 4 is a sound collage inspired by and constructed from work from the Sir Eduardo Paolozzi archive. Exploiting contemporary digital technology the text has been further edited and processed from text to speech. The chance nature of collage has been respected in that errors and glitches in the translation have been retained adding another layer of chance processing to the work. The selection of voice and the reconstruction of sound into a broadcast genre encourage the audience to construct meaning from the recognisable audio snippets speculating about the overall message but also simply accepting the sound in the background as part of the usual cacophony of contemporary everyday life.
