Synthetic speech-robots meet ambient, industrial, pop, world, folk, free improv soundscape & post-punk.
A new project from Lu Edmonds (PiL, Mekons, The Damned et al.) and Mark Roberts (The Godfathers, D-Ream, Neneh Cherry et al.) - a multilingual spoken word album, a musical hear-play ("hörspiel") exploring the underbelly of modern life, alternative histories and the allegedly imminent take-over of the world by AI. In a loose nod to German radio-plays of the 1920s, the album 'Hörspiel' uses semi-random texts culled from the Interweb, performed by synthetic speech-robots using questionable online machine translations (Chinese, Russian, French, English, Tuvan, Japanese, German, Hindi, Spanish, Turkish etc.) while Blabbermouth provide a soundtrack of ambient, industrial, pop, world, folk, free improv soundscape & post-punk.
