Content	Finnegan's Dream is a text-sound piece made from a recording of James Joyce reading a chapter from <em>Finnegan's Wake</em>. As Joyce reads, pitch and time domain-spectral transformations are employed to alter the timbral content of his voice, eventually resulting in a sort of spectral resonator driven by the voice. Techniques used to realize the piece include spectral scaling, shifting, inversion, gating, and feedback of delayed spectral data. <br> <br> <br> <?php audio( 'finnegan\'s dream.mp3' ); ?> <br> <br> <?php ruler( 'FFT patch' ); ?> Signal processing for this piece was implemented in MaxMSP. Below is a screenshot of the pfft~ patch. <br> <br> <?php image( 'spectraflex fft.png' ); ?>
