Slightly strange experience. Having made a few films and recordings over the past couple of years, this isn't as effective as it perhaps ought to have been: I've pretty much gotten used to the 'two voices'. Yet the cassette player further distorts the sound, so that the voice you hear on tape is even further from the one you hear yourself.The issues this experiment explores: self-image, identity and seeing yourself from without is more interesting than the task itself. It would be far more interesting to listen to recordings from when you were a child (I don't know if I have any at home; I used to play with cassette recorders a lot when I was little, but I think the tapes have since been thrown away). That crosses into territory explored by some of the other experiments, so I'll leave it at that for now.
