Vov

Vōv è un pezzo per cantanti e live electronics in tre movimenti, esplorando la ricerca del compositore sulle origini del linguaggio e della musica. Vōv è anche il nome della lingua inventata da uno dei più famosi creatori linguistici del mondo, David J. Peterson.

David ha inventato le lingue per vari film e programmi televisivi, come il film di Walt Disney "Thor: The Dark World" e il linguaggio Dothraki, per la serie fantasy della HBO "Game of Thrones".

Eduardo R. Miranda ha creato un coro di interpreti umani e virtuali per cantare una poesia scritta in Vōv sul tema dell'evoluzione dell'amore.

Composto presso  Plymouth University's Interdisciplinary Centre for Computer Music Research (ICCMR), UK, e Harvard University Studio for Electroacoustic Composition (HUSEAC), USA.

English translation:

Sun. Sky. Earth. I.

These are real.
We cannot see them
Because of our Ro-processors,
But they exist.
They must still exist.
We must still exist.

And though our memories
Have been stored on SuDwoKes,
I feel we still feel.
We must.

For though we can't touch,
We can still love.
No KaRa-2 can replicate
Love.

So long as that's true,
Then we are still we,
And we can still be.

We will rip out our 74Xs
And come together.
And we will produce new ones.
Flesh, not metal.
We will teach them our mistakes.
They will grow beyond our programming.
And they will love us.
And we will be allowed to die,
But they will continue to be,
And in them we will be,
From now until eternity.
