More Samples

• Odyssey 12:1-54, with video translation
• Odyssey 12:154-158
• Odyssey 12:154-200; The Sirens:
  • .wav (mpeg 3 compression, 2.03M)
  • real audio. (doesn't always work, such as across 56K modem connection)
  Some portions of this (near the very end for example) seem to me to be 'overpulsed', by which I mean that there is too much increase in volume on the ictus beats, which are supposed to be implemented more by increased length than increased loudness.
  
  
• Odyssey 19:509-535; Penelope's Grand Whinge:
  • .wav (mpeg 3 compression, 760K)
  • real audio.
  The subjective conviction that there is a melody that can be done 'right' is especially strong here for me, I wonder if this isn't related to the reference to the nightengale.

  Older version, done with $10 mic:

  • .wav (mpeg 3 compression, 997K)
  • real audio.

• Od 11:150-203 ; O's questions to his mother, and their answers (mpeg 3 compression; 1.60MB)
• Iliad 1.1-7; Iliad proem (mpeg 3 compression; 204KB) new Jul 19, 2002. There's actually a substantial error here (involving timing); perhaps you can find it.
• And an uncompressed version of the above, about 5M, for people who want to analyse it with Praat or other tools.
