Bubble Bath -- Music by Bill Pere , using the voice of Kimberley Potts You're hearing music with no instruments, and voices with no words. The sounds you hear which seem like bells, keyboards or dolphins are actually the sounds of a human voice. How can that be? Kimberley said her name into a computer called a sampler, which measured the sound 44,000 times a second and turned it into numbers. This allows us to take little pieces of the word and do things to it . We can make it higher, lower, backwards, or inside out. We can mix it with other sounds. We can use these sounds just like musical instruments to make melodies and chords. The bubble -popping sounds you hear are the "B" sounds from "Kimberley". The clicking sounds are the "K". The organ-type sound s are from the vowels and the letter "m". You can also hear notes made up of "Berl" and "Ly". Every sound in the song comes from "Kimberly". Sampling, which is used in a lot of today's music is one example of how music and math, art and technology work together to create new things. © Copyright Bill Pere, KidThink Music All Rights Reserved
