This GTR performance took place in February 2005 at the playwright Tom Cone's house. It was a rehearsal for the Songroom event which featured interdisciplanary collaborative performances between various artists and technologists.

This track features Andrew Klobucar working a version of GTR's lyrical text generation software the output of which was immediately performed by the singer Vivian Houle, whose voice was simultaneously transformed by Stefan Smulovitz 's real time granular synthesis software KENAXIS .

The software for this performance generated a new word based on a specific semantic domain (eg. The lyrics from the Beatle's Abbey Road) as well as a domain specific vocabulary.  The vocabulary and the new word were then fed to a template based text generation system structured around a lyrical format which was then displayed for performance by Vivian.
