Piece Description

I recently moved to New York and started hanging out with my old friend Ben, whom I hadn't seen in about 5 years. In a half-hearted attempt to be cute, I end up making an ass of myself at his birthday party. This story is told entirely in the robot voice. I used an online text-to-voice tool that let me type in my script (about 2 sentences at a time), and it would output an audio file. I then stitched the files together in pro tools. Originally, I intended to score this thing or to add concrete sounds and foley effects, but the file has been sitting on my computer for months, and still haven't gotten around to that. I think it works fine as just straight narration, but if you license the piece from prx, feel free to add your own music/effects. The un-bleedped version of the piece can be found at http://prx.org/pieces/6005.
