Extra Information Electonic. Wowee Wozee is another electronic piece I made with mouth sounds. I sampled 8 sounds made with my mouth or voice and altered them in my Ensoniq EPS synthesizer using various electronic techniques (LFO, filters, envelopes, looping, etc.) and made instruments out of them with multiple patches. I named each piece with an odd name based on some phrase I made up and have used much of my life. The titles' spellings are also fanciful. Some of these pieces, including Wowee Wozee, I composed and performed using Finale on my computer. Most of the video is composed of pictures quickly alternating between inverted colors using Op Art. This is a 3-voice canon. The second voice enters a Major 6th higher and the third voice enters a Major 2nd higher. But, because of the nature of the samples, you might not catch that detail.
