Basic Idea/Inspiration/Premise etc.

In one of my classes, we had listened to an NPR interview with Dr. Diana Deutsch who studies alot of interesting phenominon in regards to the human voice, musical illusion etc. Being an audio guy, I thought this was really interesting, especially the introduction in which the phrase fragment "sometimes behaves so strangely," upon repetition, appears to have a strong melody which jumps out at the listener.

In this project, I tried to investigate this phenominon further by recording a fuller conversation and trying to find the melody within the speech patterns through accompanyment from my guitar playing.
