Created for my Master Thesis at ENS Louis-Lumière (Paris), in collaboration with ICST (Zurich) and Ircam (Paris), you can hear two voices in THE VOICE IS VOICES. One voice is organic and the other its vocal deep fake.

“You enter a space containing two voices: one human and the other, its synthesized clone. The artificial voice has been constructed from a vocal corpus of many hours of recordings, and each word is generated completely by the machine, via text-to-speech synthesis. Feel free to meander around the sonic space… try to listen and feel the in-between — this distance from the original voice to its simulated twin.”
