Thank you Alex. I'm not trying to be mean. I am disabled and can only type
7 words a minute. It took me over 7 months to put this together. I made
this mostly for the blind, so I had to actually spell out words like space, so
everyone would know when to space. Left bracket, right bracket, period, I
put everything in audio so everyone could use this. It was no easy task at all.
I really don't want this on the internet just yet. In a few years it will
be, but not now. I love bluegrasspals and I still want to give out free CDs
because you all like Dectalk and I want to help you all enjoy it. I just
don't want this one CD available to the world for free because it feels too much
a part of me.
Anything else I put out I encourage to be past around anywhere and
everywhere. But Dectalk 101 feels too personal to give to the world for free. See,
deep within the voice coding is personal information about me. Some of the
voices I created are actually addresses of places where I sang and stuff in the
Minneapolis area. In that way I'm very much like Dennis Klatt because he
hid stuff in his work as well. I'm a master at phonetics, so I even mask stuff
deep within songs. You totally have to listen to hear certain coded things
within songs. Only 3 people know what I did, so it's kind of a joke.
With the voice codes of Dectalk 101 and a Minneapolis phone book, you can
compare the parameter settings to street numbers of places and figure out where
I hung out. I made it like a fun puzzle. So that's why Dectalk 101 is so
much a part of me. And that's why I don't want to just give it out to the
world just yet.

But I think he wants to avoid that as it took him a very long
time to make so he would like some compensation, not for anyone
who wants to to just go download the files.
Have a great day,
Alex
