Horse_ebooks became a phenomenon of the non-sequitir and had as many as 200,000 followers, and has inspired performance art as a Zeitgeist of modern times.
I wanted to create more of a Horse_ebooks 'seminar' than an audiobook, and CMU Festival offered 17 diverse useable voices. Perl scripts selected from a shuffled list of speakers at random, and a second pass with command line 'ecasound' assigned one of 5 stereo field positions to them. A batch for correcting EQ of one voice, and concatenation with ffmpeg. Final EQ and room acoustics in Audacity. The reading is 4h 11m. A list in order read is here: https://archive.org/download/horse-ebooks-audiobook/Horse_eb...
