Robo Ursonate (2005) (18:36)
"The physical generation of the piece was a remarkably effortless process on the part of the artist: Schwitters' score was simply cut and pasted into a commercial text-to-speech synthesis program with all further performative/compositional decisions made by the computer.  There was no attempt to correct interpretive error, nor was there any tinkering with the program's default prosody settings."
