F.11 & One Word
Vinko Globokar's F.11 consists of René Char's sentence "J'ai lu récemment cette phrase: l'histoire des hommes est la longue succession des synonymes d'un même vocable. Y contredire est un devoir".
Pauline Oliveros' XII - One Word invites us to choose a word, listen to it mentally, and speak it out increasing the speed with each repetition until we reach the maximum possible speed - then, the process could be reversed.
In this fragment, I chose Char's sentence as the 'word' that Oliveros mentions in her meditation. First, I translated Char's sentence into three different languages (Italian, English and German). Then, I recorded each translation (plus the original French version) by speaking the sentences from very slow to very fast, and back to very slow. Finally, I superimposed the four recordings.

If you would like to contribute to the expansion of this fragment, feel free to translate Char's sentence into your own language(s), record it and send it to me (lorenzo.orsenigo1995@gmail.com) so that I can learn from your pronunciation and then perform Oliveros' XII. If you like, you can also perform Oliveros' meditation on your own as described above, record it and send it to me. I will add your contribution to the main track and send you the latest update including your recording(s).
