Sound portrait of Alan Turing

A Portrait In Sound by Martin A. Smith [soundcloud link]

A portrait of Alan Turing using music, found sounds and sound collage, featuring contributions from Professor Kevin Warwick and Professor Ernest Edmonds, quotations from Alan Turing and poetry from fifteen year old poet, Hallie, from Manchester.

The soundscape was generatead from Turing Patterns using image to sound software and incorporates recordings of the Bombe, the Second World War and elements from Snow White, a story that meant so much to Alan Turing.

The intent, like a conventional painted portrait or photograph, is to represent aspects his character, life and work by using the medium of sound.
