Losing Gravity

I was very interested in sound, and use of the voice and speech as a sound, and almost an instrument, when the language being spoken is devoid of meaning. You are forced to listen to the spectrum of sounds that a human being uses in speech if you can't grasp any significance to the words.

Taped/sampled sound and voices, live speaking parts. Recordings collected (1992) by post from people from six European countries explaining their views on the state of the environment.
