<p>Users are invited to record their voices speaking or making non-verbal sounds into the site which the software will then translate into visual forms. Audio attributes such as amplitude and duration of sound recordings are translated into the
visual properties of size, number of edges, and colour. Users can play with using the different qualities of their voice to create varied and dynamic visualisations. The recordings are then ‘planted’ in the voicegarden (or added to the
archive). </p>
<p>Using the small ‘plant’ button, archived recordings by previous users are placed on the site and made to interact with the active user. The recordings made by visitors are deleted from the server each day.</p>
