A community I’m part of recently started a project to collect a few hundred voices into a sample library called Winter Voices. In looking for voices to add to the choir, I had a nice moment of serendipity. I ran across the last recording I have of my mom’s voice. We’re discussing a video Karen sent to my nephew Liam, who wanted quite seriously to know if Karen was a good person. This video was the only chance my mom had to meet Karen before she passed away, so I thought it would be nice to do something with it. I took my mom’s voice from the recording, resampled it, and put it into an instrument that can be “played” across the keyboard. I used it to make the soundtrack behind my video submission for the project.
