Gossip Booth

The Gossip Booth of Radio Slumber is a digital project of coven member Angeliki Diakrousi. It enables the ether of the website as a safe space for uttering secrets and whispering forms of gossip as a necessary form of leakage. Record yourself using the interface at the tab on the right, and a slow fermentation script will process your recording to be added to the chat below as a safely censored text that hides all textual content. Visit the website later to see your addition. The traces of your recording emerge as speech-to-text gaps, unrecognisable utterances and the in-between. The software deletes the audio once the text has been generated, so your secrets are kept secret. The project is made with pocketsphinx, pydub, php, mp3redorder.js and is hosted in a VPS in Maadix.
