I wrote this some time back, well before covid hit the world and like many, suspected there was more at play than what we saw. Now in 2023, the uk government are to implement 15-minute cities. This is what the poem refers - the human herd.
A person playing a game on a ps4, handling the remote/controller with some combinations of movement and actions was recorded with a zoom h6 recorder, using the xy capsule.
An xbox one controller's buttons being pressed and mashed, as though playing an action or fighting game, with clear separations to allow use of a variety of paces and combos. Recorded on blue snowball for the super legit podcast.
This is a recording of me pressing buttons, flicking the stick, and making circles around the edge notches of the wii nunchuck. I do all of these things in random intervals instead of actually playing something, as the more intense sounds work better for what i recorded this for.
This is from a fan audio recording of the 1967 doctor who episode "tomb of the cybermen". The sound is now in the public domain. In 1967, these cybermen were voiced by peter hawkins using a vocoder or an electro-larynx, a device used to restore speech to those whose vocal cords are damaged by detecting vibrations of the throat. At the very end of part 2 of "tomb of the cybermen", the cyberman controller is awakened and says "you belong to us, you shall be like us!" to the cast.
Recording of video game buttons being pressed. Starts with individual buttons being pressed, one at a time. Then, all the buttons are pressed at the same time - for middle of game play.
Clicking a light switch on and off and off and on and turning it. . . On and switching it. . . Off. Recorded with zoom h2. Edited with audacity.
