sonovox!

Wow, check out this predecessor of the vocoder! It is called a sonovox and uses two speakers you hold up to your throat that transmits sound to your vocal cords - it uses your own vocal tract as the formant filter!

Today, I signed up for RPM challenge 2008, which is to create an album's worth of content (10 songs and/or 35 min of material), starting February 1st until the end of the month.  My goal is to only use found sounds (processed or raw) - cutting up and re-sequencing is ok.  Everybody wish me luck, this sounds like fun and a good way to get some use out of my PCM-D50 field recorder  and to make some interesting instruments / effects on my kyma and max/msp :^)
