I need your help, all of you(for a music project)

paulrmartin · Post by **paulrmartin** » Wed Dec 21, 2005 5:55 am

Hi everyone,

I am working on a project with a guy I met on the net. It's kinda world beat with a bit of poetry interjected here and there. The poetry will be in spanish(for now anyways).

Here's what I would like from you:

I need wav files of the phrase "Ancestral sound" spoken in as many languages as possible. We have a great number of nationalities visiting here and I believe it is possible to get a great number of the wanted files.

I realise that most of you are male. So, is it at all possible to get your spouses, girlfriends or simply female friend to say these words as well so I can have a nice sampling of both types of voice?

No effects, please! I want everyone to sound as if they're in the same room, i.e. Here!

You can email them directly to me as it won't make for a big file anyways.

Thanks a lot

Paul R. Martin

I should have mentioned: There's no rush but the sooner I get your snippets the sooner I can finish the mix. Anyways, with the Christmas and New Year's holidays coming up I won't be spending too much time on the project.

I will post the languages I get in my first post so you guys know what I need.

Thanks a lot

Hey Ken, will you be able to do both japanese AND taiwanese?

Nestor, you may be interested to know the guy I am doing this project with lives in Santiago.

Hi Paul,

The word ancestral has so many translations to Polish

I need more explanation.

paulrmartin · Post by **paulrmartin** » Thu Dec 22, 2005 10:04 am

The sound that the ancestors made, heard. The old sound that lies within our collective memory, within our genes.

Does Zvuk Predkov (звук предков in russian)help you, Samplaire?

In latin, ancestral sound translates to atavistic sound.

Samplaire,

Dźwięk od przodków

or

Dźwięk od pochodzenia (przodkowie)

the second one seems closer to my meaning

samplaire · Post by **samplaire** » Thu Dec 22, 2005 10:26 am

hehe, yeah it helps

One more question though: the word 'sound' has 2 meanings and they are very similar yet different,: the sound of Pink Floyd is different then the sound of the Pretenders. The second: the sound coming from my alarm clock is annoying.

Which one ?

samplaire · Post by **samplaire** » Thu Dec 22, 2005 10:27 am

Oops, your post was faster than mine -

Dzwiek and brzmienie - which one?

samplaire · Post by **samplaire** » Thu Dec 22, 2005 10:29 am

From what you write - I think, the closest is 'the voice of our ancestors' where the voice is not meant literally. Right?

Dźwięk. But it depends what brzmienie (Tone) means exactly in polish.

The old sound (stary dźwięk)would probably be close enough.

This is fun, I'm learning new words in polish. I only wish I could learn to pronounce them correctly.

samplaire · Post by **samplaire** » Thu Dec 22, 2005 10:45 am

Brzmienie is a good tongue breaker

'Dzwiek przodkow' (the sound of ancestors) sounds not nice even for us (too much brzstrwstr in one go

We have a break at my work so we'll return after the 1st of January and I will record the phrase then, ok?

Great! glos przodkow does sound much better in my head and to my eyes, you're right.

paulrmartin · Post by **paulrmartin** » Thu Dec 22, 2005 11:42 am

This might help. It's the poem that will be spoken just before all those snipets I am asking for:

synchronicity, moonlight...
according to the myth the termites are stars,
the wood sounds and it connects with our Gods,
Their Eternal Breath upon us, ancestral sound,
invisible connection between Earth and Sky

This is the original:

sincronía, luz de luna…
según el mito las termitas son estrellas,
la madera suena y nos conecta con nuestros dioses
respiración eterna, ancestral sonido,
conexión invisible de la tierra y el cielo

Or perhaps 'primeval sound' (prastary glos)...

I'll record different phrases...

BingoTheClowno · Post by **BingoTheClowno** » Thu Dec 22, 2005 1:00 pm

Primordial is used more often.

samplaire · Post by **samplaire** » Thu Dec 22, 2005 1:12 pm

'More often' means the Paul's case?

paulrmartin · Post by **paulrmartin** » Thu Dec 22, 2005 1:52 pm

Primeval is correct.

Primordial is a nice idea though if you refer to Primordial Soup but I think that would tend to stray from the poetic aspect of the project. Perhaps a little too scientific, eh?

Samplaire,
I received your files today

Thank you so much

Come on, guys! We have all scandinavian nationalities here along with serbian and croatian and I'd love to get my phrases in those languages. Perhaps someone from Oz has aborigene friends?

Wadda ya say?
