Voices of deception.

The Tell a Lie project began with some ruminations about lying. I was wondering about the particular facet of human behaviour that allows an untruth or simple self-deception to become established as a given part of reality such that it manifests and influences a whole series of behaviours or even becomes reality itself – so creating further fantasy, misery, confusion or delusion.

Based on a hypotheses that certain changes in the human voice and verbal delivery style might be taken as indicators to lying I reckoned there would be good ground for some spoken word sound art around deception.

Tell a Lie is my own artistic presentation of these ideas, informed by my background research and scaffolded by the experimental procedure I arranged (based on previous psychological research into deception). Some of the digital audio techniques are also either used in vocal deception studies or for security purposes to conceal the human voice over radio.
