This web-audio interface challenges the ways we are listening to certain female sounding voices that are perceived as inappropriate - because of the quality of their sound, their gender, the medium's distortions but also stereotypes and collective memories that they often awake. These are verbal expressions that have been associated with forms of monstrosity since ancient times. Contributors are invited to record themselves with their own microphones, expressing their thoughts and choose a type of distortion. They are invited to participate in forming new imaginaries around a technologically mediated collective voice that through its 'monstrosity' can reveal other forms of speech that embrace their damage. They can choose what type of mediated voice they want to do that. A series of writings reveals stories and theories on the topic. The interface allows any voice to be recorded and saved in the artist's server where the website is hosted. There they get distorted through several scripts. Then the new sounds are categorized, depending on the chosen distortion, and published back in the platform. They can be played at the same time or in any desired order.<p>
n: Women apologize or prove that what they say make sense [ref to text of zapatista].
Women's voices are often going through censorship and critique when they appear in public. They have to be adjusted and filtered in order to be heard and avoid silencing. This is extended to the technological apparatus/the medium used to channel their voices, like the radio. The listeners then, are hearing a distorted voice that expresses needs and opinions of its physical proprietor and it goes beyond its control. In this work I focus on the sound of that voice that is asking to become part of public dialogues. In the platform I refer to several examples that such voices have been through some distortion. But it is not only women's voices that are going through these filters. It is also the queer, any feminine sounding voice, the collective, the resistant, the black. The examples I refer to have attracted my attention and are situated in my personal identity. This platform intends to welcome any case of medium's transformations that certain voices are going through as an extension of the society's censorship. I want to open the dialogue to more communities and people that have noticed an exclusion through mediated speech platforms.
I invite you to reclaim these distortions that characterize excluded voices. Their distortion becomes their quality that is also their damage, through which needs and rights are expressed [text of queer damaging]. I made a set of tools that distort the voice in ways borrowed from the examples I have encountered in my research. I invite you to choose the voice that you think reflects your personal needs, damages or you want to talk through it and become part of this dialogue and share your own experience or your imaginations about this voice. Sometimes this mediated voice is safer as it camouflages the actual identity of our voice, and become anonymous, like the example of witness voices. Categorize the distortions

Women's voices are often going through a lot of censorship and critique when they appear in public. They have to be adjusted and filtered in order to be heard and avoid silencing. This is extended to the medium that is used to channel their voices, like radio. The censorship extends in the technological apparatus. The listeners then, are listening to a distorted voice that expresses needs and opinions of its physical proprietor and it goes beyond its control. In this work I focus on the sound of that voice that is asking to become part of public dialogues. In the platform I refer to several examples that these voices have been going through some distortion.
But it is not only women's voices that are going through these filters. It is also the queer, any feminine sounding voice, the collective, the resistant, the black, the refugee and more. The examples I refer to have attracted my attention and are situated in my personal connections. But this platform intends to welcome any case of these medium's/technological transformations that certain voices are going through as an extension of the society's censorship. I want to open the dialogue to more communities and people that have noticed an exclusion like that through mediated speech platforms. (If you have more personal or not examples of such distortions, don't hesitate to refer to them. )
I invite you to reclaim these distortions that characterize excluded voices. Their distortion becomes their quality that is also their damage and their pain. I want to hear these distorions and express my needs and rights through this damaged [text of queer damaging] voice. So I made these tools that distort the voice in ways that are borrowed from the examples I have encountered in my research. I invite you to choose the voice that you think reflects your personal needs, damages or you want to talk through them and become part of this dialogue. To share your own experience or your imaginations about this voice. Sometimes this mediated voice is safer as it camouflages the actual identity of our voice, so you can become anonymous, like the witness voices. The copyrights of the voices belong to you. I ask you to use them in the performance radio-active monstrosities where I will narrate ...Only for this recording. You can choose to include your name or not. Categorize the distortions

<p>Dear listener,</p>
you are invited to <div class="tooltip-wrap">amplify</div> parts of the podcasts that you find worthy of attention by listening, recording and repeating them, with your own voice, and upload them in the archive. The stories and sounds, you will listen to, are related to how female voices have been marginalised and what methods (rational/irrational) amplify and bring them in the front. Amplification can happen through repetition and multiplication. Your recording becomes part of a gathering of multiple individual voices, that repeat fragments of situations and things that are unspeakable, and can appear as feedback to them. Your voice, no matter what gender, with its own quality and uniqueness will channel these fragmented female voices. This audio collection may be, then, used as an input for <a href="amplification.php" class="underline" target="_blank">workshops</a>.

Urban spaces host a variety of political activities such as squatting, demonstrations, displays of the politics of culture and identity which are visible on the street and which are not dependent on mainstream media technologies. Since the beginning of human societies there has been a need for gatherings and sharing knowledge through verbal communication. Today the agonistic dynamics of primitive oral thought, which have effected the development of Western literate culture, have been "institutionalized by the art of rhetoric, and by the related dialectic of Socrates and Plato, which furnished agonistic oral verbalization with a scientific base" (Ong, 2002, pg. 45). 'Agonistic pluralism' a term proposed by Chantal Mouffe is a type of democracy that acknowledges the multiplicity of voices and values, as well as conflicts of contemporary pluralist societies.[2]
A space, where is open for dialogue, can facilitate a democracy of agonism. Part of the occupy events would be public speeches in the context of public assemblies, often delivered by philosophers, writers, academics, resistance figures on the site of the occupied space site specificity is also very characteristic in these cases. The audience would often be very big and therefore an amplifier was needed for the voice of the speaker to be heard by everyone. However, in the case of Occupy Wall Street, amplified sound devices, like microphones and megaphones, were only allowed outside, in public spaces when special permission from the police was given.

<i>[2] 'Agonistic pluralism' is based on 'agonism', instead of competitive antagonism, which means that people can see each other as adversaries who disagree, rather than enemies. Mouffe says that "a pluralist democracy cannot be to reach a rational consensus in the public sphere" (Mouffe, 2000a, pg. 104), because such a consensus cannot exist as it always implies a form of exclusion. 'Agonism' can be achieved by providing channels through which all collective passions can be expressed and mobilized towards democratic approaches between adversaries rather than a process of rational persuasion that refuses the existence of such passions.</i><p>

We often feel uncanny listening back to our voices through phones, video calls, voice messages. Imagine what a break through radio was when it became public and accessible to everyone.
Federici on gossip and “The Transformation of Silence into Language and Action” by Audre Lorde

**TINA TALLON:. . . Newspapers and magazines repeatedly referred to women on air as “affected,” “stiff,” “forced,” and “unnatural.” . . . they asserted that women sounded “shrill,” “nasal,” and “distorted” on the radio, and claimed that womens higher voices created technical problems.**<p>
As Tina Tallon observes in 1927, the Federal Radio Commission decided to provide each station its own little 10000 hertz slice of bandwidth. So there's a segment . . . before you take the signal and modulate it into something that can be transferred . . . `{./radio-voice.sh}` in between stations known as the base band or the pre- modulated signal that had to be actually limited to 5000 hertz because amplitude modulation actually doubles the bandwidth of the signal. So initially they said, OK, we're gonna take all of our baseband signals and limit them to 5000 hertz. What that meant was all of the microphones and all of the equipment that people were using to record didn't need to go above 5000 hertz because none of that information would get transmitted.<p>
**TINA TALLON: `{./lowpass.sh}`Steinbergs experiments showed that the voiceband frequencies reduced the intelligibility of female speech by cutting out the higher frequency components necessary for the perception of certain consonants. Steinberg asserted that “nature has so designed womans speech that it is always most effective when it is of soft and well modulated tone.” Hinting at the age-old notion that women are too emotional, he wrote that a womans raised voice would exceed the limitations of the equipment, thus reducing her clarity on air**. <p>

During the conflict in Syria, a group of people that wanted to broadcast their own news for the safety of the citizens and the avoidance of more killings, set up a radio station. Its programs would include urgent announcements of battles, strikes, and skirmishes, tutorials for medical care, music and other topical issues. The station, which was called Radio Fresh, ceased to exist in 2016 because of a sudden intervention from Nusra, an extremist Islamist group. While it was on the air the male initiators invited women, who were mainly hidden in their houses, to produce their own programs. Some groups of women decided to first learn vocal techniques. They then broadcasted their own music and speech, but after a while Nusra threatened to close the station if women didn't leave. "Nusra considered their voices shameful, a form of nakedness" (Ballout, 2019) it sounds similar to the political nakedness that Anne Carson refers to in her text. When Alkaios, an archaic poet, was exiled in the outskirts of the city, he is surrounded by the cries of women "[n]o proper civic space would contain it unregulated" (Carson, 1996, pg. 125). A man would not make a sound like that and for Alkaios to be exposed to it is a condition of political nakedness. Pythagoras had a similar opinion about his wife's voice; he believed that her speech like her body should not exposed to public, "and she should as modestly guard against exposing her voice to outsiders as she would guard against stripping off her clothes" (Carson, 1996, pg. 129).<p>
Nusra refused to listen to whatever they want to say, because they were women. The group said that female voices in public is like a form of 'nakedness', that should not be exposed. However, when women transformed their voices technically to a male register technicians helped them to change electronically the quality of their voice as they speak in the microphone everybody would listen carefully to their words. For the purpose of making their own radio program, and include their voices in airwaves, they changed the gender of their voice. Their female body accepted a distortion into male. And by extension, the distorted mediation of their voice broke the fixed gender binary regarding their bodies being in public. <p>

Urban spaces host a variety of political activities such as squatting, demonstrations, displays of the politics of culture and identity which are visible on the street and which are not dependent on mainstream media technologies. Since the beginning of human societies there has been a need for gatherings and sharing knowledge through verbal communication. Today the agonistic dynamics of primitive oral thought, which have effected the development of Western literate culture, have been "institutionalized by the art of rhetoric, and by the related dialectic of Socrates and Plato, which furnished agonistic oral verbalization with a scientific base" (Ong, 2002, pg. 45). 'Agonistic pluralism' a term proposed by Chantal Mouffe is a type of democracy that acknowledges the multiplicity of voices and values, as well as conflicts of contemporary pluralist societies.[2]
A space, where is open for dialogue, can facilitate a democracy of agonism. Part of the occupy events would be public speeches in the context of public assemblies, often delivered by philosophers, writers, academics, resistance figures on the site of the occupied space site specificity is also very characteristic in these cases. The audience would often be very big and therefore an amplifier was needed for the voice of the speaker to be heard by everyone. However, in the case of Occupy Wall Street, amplified sound devices, like microphones and megaphones, were only allowed outside, in public spaces when special permission from the police was given. But "when the technologies above them are removed somehow, the foundational elements remain embedded and embodied in our cyborg bodies and brains" (Moraine, 2011). The participants of #occupy became the 'human microphone', as they called it. This means that all together they would repeat the words of the speaker for the benefit of those located in the rear. "Even given that many of the participants of #occupy are in full possession of smartphones, verbal address to the crowd from a singular source is still important" (Pages, 2011). Saskia Sassen (Sassen, 2012) observes that in cities today a big mix of people coexist. Those who lack power can make themselves present through face-to-face communication. According to Sassen, this condition reveals another type of politics and political actors, based on hybrid contexts of acting, outside of the formal system[6]
