Volksliedmaschine is conceived as a self-generating radio play with the German
folk song as starting point and material. The hardware basis is a computer
which contains an audio archive. This archive is based essentially on voices:
verses, sentences, terms. A programmed software accesses the individual segments
of the archive: excludes, extends, combines, layers, changes and edits the
sound of the "vocal apparatus" and renders it audible.
