Sound experiment based on the audio of an interview from the “radio” show The Sound of Young America.

Hear it:

The idea behind this was to remove all almost all audio except for the portions referring to the secondary functions of language, like the emotive (non-verbal sounds) and the phatic (referring to the message itself or to the communication channel).

The Sound of Young America is a great show hosted by Jesse Thorn, who kindly gave me the permission to use the audio in this work. The guest in the audio used is cartoon artist Ariel Schrag.
