The design of this work is inspired by the rhythmic patterns and concealed musical structures in human speech. Most aspects of the piece, such as rhythm, pitch and timbre, were generated through a series of computer analyses, examining the spectral formation of the Turkish President's voice. Temporal changes and formant transitions in the spectra are represented through various orchestral combinations and digitally manipulated instrument samples in the electronics part. The recorded electronics serve as an extension of the live ensemble as well as replaying various excerpts and small fragments of the president's speeches, obscuring the meaning and emotional charge of the words. Ordinary Things does not aim to recreate the sound of human speech but rather highlights some of the micro-events in its frequency spectrum.
