I got my headphones on watching a video about AutoCad's SketchPad pro, thought I heard a sound. I called out to my wife, "you say something hon?" "No that's the cat scratching the carpet." Listened to a whale song video for a while, all the while thinking what it would sound like sped up, like dolphins or chipmunks or maybe some ancient language. Man I got to stop this line of thinking. What if all the sounds in the background were speaking to us. The PC clicks, fan whirl, wind blows the shade and the cat knocks a cup over. The sound of chips crunching in my head as I chew and the way I turn my head to catch the sounds better. I tape them all, slow them down, speed them up and collect the syllables into phrases and arrange them end to end. I play them back, "Arnold, Arnold, quit trying to ease drop on my conversations."
