Right, so I'm doing this art thing for uni:
-It'll be done in Flash, so there'll be some interaction. It'll be one image of a machine that is made up of smaller components. Each of those components is a button, and has an abstract idea attached to it (love, sorrow, faith etc...) The user/viewer selects any two buttons, and a sound will play, which will be somehow related to the combinations of the two abstracts (example: love + self = narcism, sound that plays is the story of Narcissus read out loud by someone). And I want all/most of the sounds to be things read out loud by people.
So if you could, you have the chance to be ever so helpful by either:
-hinting me to texts that could be nifty sound files: your own writings (I will obviously credit all the writers of the texts), passages from books, poetry, song lyrics etc... Must be in English.
-reading a text out loud for me onto a sound file.

Have you a good idea of what the abstract concepts will be?

I can't tell, because then people will start making the connections between the texts and the abstracts, and those might not be the connections I'd make, and I have to make the connections because it's about my little world, my parallel universe.
So any text recommendation at this point because I need lots. >_>
