The documentation of a live performance by Formant Brothers (Masahiro Miwa & Nobuyasu Sakonda) recorded in Osaka/Japan in Nov. 2003. see also formantbros.jp — In Ordering a Pizza de Brothers! the Formant Brothers perform music on their own real-time voice synthesis system, the Klavocode, and as a side-effect of this performance, order a pizza by telephone. The Big Brother(Mr.Miwa) is responsible for phonemes, and Little Brother(Mr.Sakonda) takes care of intonation and accent. The voice is synthesized from duet’s actions. Using MIDI keyboard, the Japanese phonemes are mapped to combinations of the 12 key in an octave using the system called “Brother’s Keyboard-to-Phonemes Transfer Standard for Japanese Language” (BKPT-Standard), — (text written by Takayuki Rai on Computer Music Journal vol.28 No.4, Winter, 2004, MIT Press, p125)

Older computer technology blended with new technology! Dan Sindel performs Daisy Bell (A Bicycle Built for Two) reading from Barber shop Quartet sheet music using the AXON Guitar-to-MIDI converter running into a Pro Tools Digital Audio Workstation and factored in the original 1963 Bell Lab synthetic speech recordings of DAISY. With only a few adjustments to the timing of the original Bell Lab recordings to go along with the guitar music the file is in perfect integrity. **Download the full computer speech demo from 1963: tinyurl.com This video features old stock footage from Coney Island (1940′s) and some cool old ARMY footage of an Atomic Bomb Test – “Operation Cue”. Henry Dacre wrote Daisy Bell somewhere around 1892. One of the more famous moments in Bell Labs’ synthetic speech research was the sample created by John L. Kelly in 1962, using an IBM 704 computer. Kelly’s vocoder synthesizer recreated the song “Bicycle Built for Two,” with musical accompaniment from Max Mathews. Arthur C. Clarke, then visiting friend and colleague John Pierce at the Bell Labs Murray Hill facility, saw this remarkable demonstration and later used it in the climactic scene of his novel and screenplay for “2001: A Space Odyssey,” where the HAL9000 computer sings this song as he is disassembled by astronaut Dave Bowman. www.bell-labs.com
